Description: * Vitamin E 400 IU. helps protect the body's cells from free radical oxidative damage!
A natural blend of vitamin E up to 3 times more effective as an antioxidant, when compared to synthetic vitamin E. Vitamin E 400 IU. is a fat-soluble vitamin and a chief antioxidant. It is considered the first line of defense against lipid peroxidation, protecting cell membranes against free radicals.
The term "Vitamin E" refers to a family of eight related, lipid-soluble, antioxidant compounds widely distributed in plants. The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma and delta, and all possess unique biological effects. Different ratios of these compounds are found in anatomically different parts of a plant. For example, the green parts of a plant contain mostly alpha tocopherol and the seed germ and bran contain mostly tocotrienols.
Vitamin E 400 IU. is an essential vitamin which helps boost the immune system, and promotes healthy cardiovascular function. It is also beneficial in the maintenance of healthy brain cells, and aids in most aspects of a healthy body. A major study published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicated 1,200 IU - 2,000 IU per day is safe and slowed the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
While 400 IU or more of supplemental vitamin E a day has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks in healthy people, those with pre-existing coronary artery disease often take 800 to 1600 IU a day based on the pioneering work of the Shute brothers in the mid 1940s and other studies that have continued to prove the benefits of high doses of vitamin E.
