Vitamin E (as DL-alpha Tocopherol)

Vitamin E Benefits at a Glance:  

  • Protects cells from damage  
  • Boosts immunity  
  • Promotes vision and eye health  
  • Nourishes skin and assists wound healing  
  • Supports heart and cardiovascular health  

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient for heart, immune, skin, eye, cognitive and reproductive health. It also helps prevent cellular damage and signs of aging.
This powerful antioxidant is found primarily in plant foods like nuts and seeds (and their oils), including avocado, beet greens, mango, red bell peppers, and asparagus. Your body doesn’t produce vitamin E, so you have to obtain it through your diet and supplementation. Vitamin E comes in many forms but alpha-tocopherol is the only form your body can use.
Vitamin E benefits are widely known in the beauty industry as a natural way to fight sun damage, soothe irritated and inflamed skin, speed up wound healing, and reduce the appearance of scars. You can also experience its benefits for your skin by applying vitamin E oil topically. However, some research suggests ingesting vitamin E through foods and supplementation may be more effective than applying vitamin E oil topically –  as its stability is quickly compromised when exposed to air and light.
Why It’s Included

In addition to its health benefits, vitamin E acts as an emulsifier when added to supplements. This means it allows oil and water-based ingredients to mix seamlessly so they can be included in the same formula and provide you with a more robust range of health benefits in a single product. 

We use nano-liposomal vitamin E in our products. This means the it’s nano-sized (a tiny particle less than one micron) and can seamlessly enter the membranes through your mouth or skin and bypass the digestive process – which allows it to become up to 200 x more bioavailable. Liposomal delivery further aids absorption by safeguarding the vitamin E from your body’s natural defenses, so it stays intact until being absorbed at the intended location.
