The average American diet contains only 7 to 10 I.U. of vitamin E. Natural vitamin E from vegetable oil is twice as bio-available as the synthetic version. A study done at Oregon State University showed synthetic vitamin E was secreted through the urinary tract at 4 to 6 times the rate of natural vitamin E. The study also showed that natural vitamin E was utilized by the body at 3 times the rate of the synthetic.
Check your label; as long as there is only 1 percent of natural vitamin E in the capsules, it can be labeled all-natural. If it says "esterified" on the label, the supplement has gone through a chemical process to change its structure, greatly reducing its antioxidant value.
Synthetic vitamin E is a d1-alpha tocopherol. Unique E is the only all-natural vitamin E. It provides mixed tocopherols in their natural state, and it is devoid of any fillers. This most potent form insures you get maximum anti-clotting protection from the alpha tocopherol. Also, the combination of d-gamma tocopherol and d-beta and d-delta antioxidant portions neutralize harmful free radicals more effectively.
