Vitamin E

Vitamins

Also known as: Tocopherol, Alpha-Tocopherol, Tocotrienol

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. It supports immune function, skin health, and cardiovascular protection.

Best Timing

Take with a fat-containing meal for optimal absorption.

Absorption

Fat-soluble — requires dietary fat. Natural form (d-alpha) is twice as bioactive as synthetic (dl-alpha). Mixed tocopherols provide broader protection.
