Vitamin
E is a mixture of several related compounds known as tocopherols. The a-tocopherol
molecule is the most potent of the tocopherols. Vitamin E is absorbed from the
intestines packaged in chylomicrons. It is delivered to the tissues via
chylomicron transport and then to the liver through chylomicron remnant uptake.
The liver can export vitamin E in VLDLs. Due to its lipophilic nature, vitamin E
accumulates in cellular membranes, fat deposits and other circulating
lipoproteins. The major site of vitamin E storage is in adipose tissue.
The major
function of vitamin E is to act as a natural antioxidant by scavenging free
radicals and molecular oxygen. In particular vitamin E is important for
preventing peroxidation of polyunsaturated membrane fatty acids. The vitamins E
and C are interrelated in their antioxidant capabilities. Active a-tocopherol
can be regenerated by interaction with vitamin C following scavenge of a peroxy
free radical. Alternatively, a-tocopherol can scavenge two peroxy free radicals
and then be conjugated to glucuronate for excretion in the bile.
One of the most potent
antioxidants available, Vitamin E ; retards cellular aging due to oxidation; supplies
oxygen to the blood which is then carried to the heart and other organs; thus alleviating
fatigue; aids in bringing nourishment to cells; strengthens the capillary walls &
prevents the red blood cells from destructive poisons; prevents & dissolves blood
clots; has also been used by doctors in helping prevent sterility, calcium deposits in
blood walls , heart conditions, and muscular dystrophy,
Of the several types of
Vitamin E, D-Alpha Tocopherol (100% Natural) is 4 times more potent in biological
activity than dl- Alpha Tocopherol (Synthetic) Vitamin E. For example; 100 I.U. of d-
Alpha (100% Natural) Vitamin E is equal to 400 I.U. d1- Alpha Tocopherol (Synthetic)
Vitamin E in biological activity. Natural Vitamin E is derived from soybeans while
synthetic Vitamin E is a petroleum by-product.
