Vitamin E Antioxidant

Vitamin E is not a single compound, but a group of 8 slightly different chemicals divided into two major groups called tocopherols and tocotrienols.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, but also powerfully healing, as it repairs damaged tissues. It helps lower blood pressure and supports normal clotting. It is associated with healthy nerves, muscle, skin and hair. It also reduces the risk of heart attacks.

The vitamin E antioxidant has amazing anti aging function, strengthening the immune system as it begins to weaken with age. It also keeps the brain cells from aging, that's why it works better than any prescription drugs in delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

"Taking vitamin E supplements daily will substantially reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.

• Vitamin E keeps your skin youthful by protecting against damage from UV radiation and ozone, the major causes of wrinkle, brown spots and even cancer.

• Vitamin E relieves symptoms of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

• Vitamin E reduces the risk of prostate cancer in men and can inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells."

Studies show that natural vitamin E is at least twice as effective as synthetic vitamin E. Be cautious and make sure you get plenty of vitamin E from only natural sources.

Foods high in vitamin E

• Leafy green vegetables

• Brown rice, and brown rice bran also known as tocotrienols

• Cold-pressed oils: olive, flax seed, hemp seed, sunflower, safflower, coconut and avocado oil. Wheat germ oil is an especially high source of vitamin E.

• Nuts and seeds, especially sunflower seeds, almonds and walnuts.

• Whole grains, such as wheat berries, oats, spelt, kamut and even cornmeal.

• Dry and sprouted beans (not canned beans as there nutritional value is significantly lower)

• These are the healthy foods that should form the foundation of a whole food diet.

Here is what raw food expert David Wolfe has to say about vitamin E:

"Tocotrienols are the most potent source of vitamin E and a rich source of B vitamins. Until recently, vitamin E was thought to be composed of several TOCOPHEROLS, the most powerful form of which is ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL.

Vitamin E is of great nutritional importance. All body tissues, especially the adrenal and pituitary glands, have high concentrates of vitamin E, but storage is mainly in the muscles, fatty tissues, and liver.

Recently, a new class of compounds related to the TOCOPHEROLS has been discovered, and these compounds are called TOCOTRIENOLS. According to a noted expert in the field of vitamin E research, ALPHA-TOCOTRIENOL is 40-60 times more potent than ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL. At the present time, there are four named TOCOTRIENOLS. An additional 20 unnamed TOCOTRIENOLS have been discovered. By way of example, DELTA-TOCOTRIENOL is 200 times more potent than ALPHA-TOCOTRIENOL." - Fortifying our Join Health, Longevity Warehouse

Vitamin E Complete 8 provides a complete spectrum of vitamin E. Vitamin E present in food sources is made up of 4 unique tocopherols and 4 unique tocotrienols. Delivered together, these synergistic compounds act as potent free radical scavengers in the body, offering maximum antioxidant protection and vitamin E bioactivity.

Since vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient, additional plant oils including wheat germ oil and sunflower seed oil were included in each vegetarian capsule to enhance the bioavailability and utilization of Vitamin E Complete 8.
