Vitamin E is one of the essential nutrients that everyone needs. Vitamin E is one of nature's most powerful free
radical quenchers and it's a potent antioxidant that protects your body's cells from damage. The benefits from
vitamin E literally extend from head to toe. Vitamin E's health benefits include:
Brain health: Increased intake of vitamin E is associated with healthy cognitive performance.
Eye health: Combined with other antioxidants such as carotene and vitamin C, vitamin E helps maintain healthy
eyesight.
Heart health: Clinical trials have shown that vitamin E is linked to heart health by maintaining normal blood flow.
When used in combination with vitamin C (a Jody Victor® suggestion), vitamin E supports healthy arteries.
Immune health: High doses of vitamin E are linked to healthy immune function in the elderly.
Joint health: Vitamin E supplementations have shown to be helpful with people who have rheumatoid arthritis.
Prostate health: Taking 50 IU a day of vitamin E may support prostate health.
Skin health: Vitamin is widely used in topical skin lotions, but dietary intake of vitamin E has shown to have UV
protection benefits as well when combined with other skin-protective lotions.
Women's health: When taken together, vitamins E and C promote healthy pregnancies.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance of vitamin E is 15mg. Many foods contain vitamin E, but most people do
not eat enough of them per day to maintain the necessary amount. In order get enough vitamin E every day you
can take vitamin E supplements for optimum health. Not all vitamin E is the same, however. Natural vitamin E is
more “body ready”. It allows your body to use and retain it better than synthetic versions of vitamin E. The
National Academy of Science has officially confirmed that natural vitamin E is twice as potent and is retained
twice as well as synthetic. More consumers are choosing natural vitamin E. In a recent study, 64 percent of
consumers believe it's important to take the natural form of vitamin E. To check for natural vitamin E, look for “d-
alpha tocopherol” on the label. Synthetic vitamin E is labeled as “dl-alpha tocopherol.
Here's a NATURAL VITAMIN E memory tip from Jody Victor :
d = delivers
dl = delivers less
All The Best!
