"However, foods known to be high in natural vitamin e are protective against many diseases. One study found a protective effect against Alzheimer's disease using full spectrum vitamin E from food instead of a single fraction alpha-tocopherol supplement.30 Studies have shown that certain foods, like nuts and certain oils, which contain copious amounts of all eight fractions of vitamin E, are highly protective against cancer. Thus, foods provide a much broader spectrum of the vitamin E components then do most over-the-counter vitamin E supplements." - James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.)

"Some of these compounds apparently are over a hundred times more effective than natural vitamin e as antioxidants, but much testing is needed before any human will be taking these as supplements. Scientists caution that it takes years of research and trials before a product is ready to market. At this point, it is an open question whether or not these synthetic antioxidants will have any value beyond use in the laboratory. • Body Language Super Antioxidant from OxyFresh USA. • Cell Guard from Biotec Food Corporation. • Glutathione Booster from Carlson Laboratories. • Juice Plus from Kelco." - Phyllis A.

"Also, natural sources of vitamin E are better than synthetic vitamin E because natural vitamin e is more available for use by the body than the synthetic form. Synthetic vitamin E is only 67 percent as active as the natural form. Read labels closely. The natural form of vitamin E is listed as d-alpha-tocopherol, rrr-alpha-to-copherol, d-alpha-tocopherol acetate or d-alpha-tocopherol succinate. The synthetic form is listed as dl-alpha-tocopherol or all-rac alpha-tocopherol (watch out for the / after the d)." - Phyllis A.

"Be sure that your vitamin E is natural, not synthetic. natural vitamin e is listed on product labels as d-alpha tocopherol, whereas the synthetic form is listed as dl-alpha tocopherol. Also, when possible, consider taking the complete vitamin E, which contains mixed alpha, beta, delta, and gamma tocopherols and tocotrienols. • **** Take any supplement that contains calcium at least two hours before or after taking SierraSil to ensure the effectiveness of both supplements. Fortunately, a number of multivitamin/multimineral products on the market provide all of the nutrients listed in Table 5." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"E-succinate, a synthetic form of vitamin E, has the ability, unlike natural vitamin e, the tocopherols, to actually work at the level of the chromosome in switching oncogenes off50 Maitake-D-fraction is derived from the oriental Maitake mushroom and its anti-cancer properties69 have been researched and demonstrated to the point where it is used as sole chemotherapy for stomach cancer in Japan." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)

"Always take the natural vitamin e. Avoid the one with an "L" following the "D". Just think of the "L" as standing for "built in a Lab". / Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are beneficial for treating and preventing Candida, as well as preventing the fungus from destroying cells. They also super enhance the immune system. Either flax seed oil or fish oil should work. I would recommend four 1,000 mg soft gels of either, or two of both, daily. Incidentally, EFAs have also proven beneficial with ADHD, depression and bipolar disorder. As with all supplements, they have many "benefits"." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Acceptable vitamin E supplements contain at least the four tocopherol components of natural vitamin e. Better supplements also have all four tocotrienol fractions derived from palm oil. Unfortunately, the latter are expensive, but then, so is treating prostate cancer! Palm oil is exceptionally high in tocotrienols and is the preferred source. It is also an excellent general-purpose oil that is stable and provides good texture and flavor. Unfortunately, when cost issues are weighed against health issues in food processing, cost issues usually win." - James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.) "Tocotrienol: The natural vitamin e to Defend the Nervous System, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Vol. 1031 (Dec. 2004); 127-142. 30 Morris, M. et al.

"Unique E is pure natural vitamin e without vegetable oil. There is also a question about the gelatin capsule and the risk of "mad cow" disease. While risk appears to be very low, when you are dealing with a disease reported to have 100 percent mortality, it is a major concern. The d-alpha tocopherol succinate form comes as a dry powder. It is often referred to as "dry E." Most manufacturers use a vegetable-based capsule rather than a gelatin capsule, because of the concern about mad cow disease." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"You'll get good amounts of vitamin antioxidants such as natural vitamin e and C as well as commonly missed antioxidants like selenium from a good multivitamin. You'll cover lots of potentially missed antioxidants, vitamins, enzymes and phytonutrients from a good green food supplement like Spirulina. And last but not least, you'll get powerful, concentrated free radical elimination and singlet oxygen quenching from Natural Astaxanthin.

"IU per mg • natural vitamin e (in the form of d-alpha-tocopherol acetate) = 1.36 IU per mg • natural vitamin e (in the form of d-alpha-tocopherol) = 1.49 IU per mg What Form of Supplemental Vitamin E Is Best? Determining the best form of vitamin E involves more than the natural versus synthetic question, but let's look at that issue first. Taking 100 IU of synthetic vitamin E, for example, is supposed to be the same as taking 100 IU of natural vitamin e." - Richard Harkness, The Natural Pharmacist: Your Complete Guide to Reducing Cancer Risk (Get the book.)

"Gamma-Tocopherol: natural vitamin e exists in eight different forms or isomers, four tocopherols and fourtocotrienols, alpha, beta, gamma and delta form are found in both the tocopherols and tocotrienols. Alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol are the two major forms of vitamin E found in human plasma and tissues. The dietary intake of gamma-tocopherol is at least two times that of alpha-tocopherol in Western diets. The results of a 1997 study suggest that the mixed forms of vitamin E found in food may be more beneficial than the alpha tocopherol form which is the main ingredient in supplements." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.)

"IU per mg • natural vitamin e (in the form of d-alpha-tocopherol) = 1.49 IU per mg What Form of Supplemental Vitamin E Is Best? Determining the best form of vitamin E involves more than the natural versus synthetic question, but let's look at that issue first. Taking 100 IU of synthetic vitamin E, for example, is supposed to be the same as taking 100 IU of natural vitamin e. However, a 1997 Japanese study reported that it took 400 IU of synthetic vitamin E to equal the blood levels obtained with just 150 IU of natural vitamin e." - Richard Harkness, The Natural Pharmacist: Your Complete Guide to Reducing Cancer Risk (Get the book.)

"Nature's Way filed a lawsuit to get their product returned, but was forced to remove the natural vitamin e from the formulation, as the FDA insisted that Vitamin E had not been approved as an additive for primrose oil. 1992 - The Tahoma Clinic FDA Raid On May 6, 1992, FDA agents joined armed King County police officers in an armed raid against the clinic of Dr. Jonathan Wright, an M.D. and natural health practitioner. His crime? He was treating patients with injectable high-dose B vitamins—a safe, natural treatment—and in doing so was actually helping patients heal." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"The prostate cancer research institute recommends a dose of 400 IU of natural vitamin e as d-alpha-tocopherol, along with 210 mg of d-gamma-tocopherol as part of its basic preventive measures.39 In light of the latest research, it seems prudent to take a vitamin E supplement that contains all eight of the vitamin E fractions along with the above. Again, you should use only the natural form with palm oil being the preferred source. The natural tocotrienol in palm oil has also been shown to be protective for your heart.40 Critical Minerals Selenium ?" - James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.)

"You can easily identify the natural and synthetic forms in supplements, but you have to read the fine print on the back of the label. natural vitamin e will be identified by its chemical name, d-alpha tocopherol, d-alpha tocopheryl acetate, or d-alpha tocopheryl succinate. Synthetic forms will have a "dl" instead of a "d" before the rest of the chemical name. Companies that do not list either "dl" or "d" on labels are most likely trying to hide the source of their product, which is probably synthetic." - Jack Challem, Feed Your Genes Right: Eat to Turn Off Disease-Causing Genes and Slow Down Aging (Get the book.)

"It is best blended with other carrier oils; make sure to buy natural vitamin e, not synthetic. Emergency Situations Irritated Skin: To relieve skin irritated from essential oils, wash with soap and water or a mild detergent. If the rash does not clear up in a few days, seek medical attention. If there is blistering, seek medical attention right away. Essential oil in the eyes: Place a small drop of plain carrier oil (e.g., olive oil) into the affected eye(s). The carrier oil helps to absorb the essential oil. Rinse with water and pat with a cloth." - James F.

"The formula should contain 400 IU of natural vitamin e (d'alpha tocopherol). Super Prescription #2 Garlic (Allium sativum) Take 300 to 500 mg of aged garlic twice daily. It reduces cholesterol and homocysteine, has a natural blood-thinning effect, and has antioxidant properties. Super Prescription #3 Coenzyme Q10 Take 100 to 300 mg daily. This nutrient is used by the heart cells to pump efficiently and with regular rhythm. Studies show that it lowers blood pressure and helps improve angina, mitral valve prolapse, and congestive heart failure." - James F.

"I believe that most people would do well to take at least 200 international units of natural vitamin e. (The natural form contains all the isomers of vitamin E that help fight cancer, heart disease, and the effects of aging.) Many labels list vitamin E in international units instead of milligrams. For natural vitamin e, 1 milligram equals 1." - Robert Hass, M.S., Permanent Remissions (Get the book.)

"He recommended that she take these supplements, including 800 IU of natural vitamin e, 4,000 mg of vitamin C, 1,000 meg of folic acid, 500 meg of vitamin B12, and 4,000 mg of garlic supplements. After several weeks Barbara's painful episodes began to decline. Six months later she reported having fewer episodes of pain and fewer colds, and tests indicated that her red blood cells were not breaking down as quickly as they had been. While the vitamins were not a cure for sickle-cell anemia, they did significantly minimize Barbara's symptoms." - Jack Challem, Feed Your Genes Right: Eat to Turn Off Disease-Causing Genes and Slow Down Aging (Get the book.) "Some natural vitamin e products include other types of vitamin E molecules, such as mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols. The natural d-alpha form provides the lion's share of vitamin E's antioxidant properties, but the other forms may also be worthwhile. Other antioxidants, such as vitamin C and coenzyme Q10, have also been shown to reduce LDL oxidation. Several studies have shown strong relationships between vitamin C intake and longevity, as well as a lower risk of stroke." - Jack Challem, Feed Your Genes Right: Eat to Turn Off Disease-Causing Genes and Slow Down Aging (Get the book.)

"What to take: 400IU of natural vitamin e daily in the form of mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols. Previously, I've recommended natural vitamin e in the d-alpha tocopherol form, but recent research has convinced me that mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols—which is basically vitamin E in the form in which it appears in nature—has better antioxidant activity. Avoid synthetic vitamin E, or dl-alpha tocopherol." - Earl L. Mindell, RPh, PhD with Virginia Hopkins, MA, Bottom Line's Prescription Alternatives (Get the book.)

"We recommend 400 to 800 IU daily. natural vitamin e (d-alpha-tocopherol), with a blend of mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols, is best. Evening primrose oil (Oenothera biennis) is an excellent dietary source of GLA. This essential fatty acid is a precursor to prostaglandins, which have a regulating effect on hormones and other systems of the body. Some studies have shown the benefits of evening primrose oil supplementation for PMS-related depression, irritability, breast pain and tenderness, and fluid retention." - James F.

"Many labels list vitamin E in international units instead of milligrams. For natural vitamin e, 1 milligram equals 1.43 interna- Vitamin E Quinone: A Clot-Busting Compound Although vitamin E has long been known to have some anticoagulant properties (people with bleeding problems are cautioned against taking supplements of it), its clot-busting ability has largely been ignored by most researchers. While natural vitamin e itself, or o-alpha-tocopherol, has almost no ability to retard blood clotting, one of its main metabolites—vitamin E quinone—has significant anticlotting effects." - Robert Hass, M.S., Permanent Remissions (Get the book.)

"Good choices are d-alpha tocopheryl acetate, d-alpha tocopheryl suecinate, d-alpha tocopherol with other mixed natural tocopherols, which would include a little beta and gamma tocopherol, or a mix of natural vitamin e tocopherols and tocotrienols. The mixed tocopherols most closely resemble how the vitamin occurs in nature, and at least gamma tocopherol may provide additional anti-inflammatory properties. Another option would be a supplement containing mixed natural vitamin e tocopherols and tocotrienols (a less well-known group of vitamin E molecules, but one that is gaining more recognition)." - Jack Challem, The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, and Asthma (Get the book.)

"Similarly, synthetic vitamin E contains a single compound, whereas natural vitamin e contains a mixture of different but related substances known as tocopherols. Recent studies have reported that taking natural vitamin e results in higher blood levels that last longer. Whether you select a natural or synthetic formula, be aware that the contents of any supplement have to be altered in some way to put them into pill, powder, or capsule form. Many vitamin and mineral formulas contain refined sugars or artificial sweeteners, such as sucrose, mannose, xylitol, and aspartame (NutraSweet)." - Janet Zand, LAc, OMD, Allan N.

"You should also look for a vitamin E supplement that contains tocotrienols, another set of very important heart-healthy compounds in the vitamin E family. natural vitamin e is unquestionably more effective than any of the synthetic kinds. The studies that showed benefit for insulin metabolism used 900 IUs. Vitamin E is generally sold in 400 IU capsules. If you're using vitamin E for its general protective effect, add at least 400 IUs to your daily regimen, preferably 800. If you're using it for its therapeutic effects on blood sugar metabolism, take at least 800 IUs." - Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S., Living the Low Carb Life: Controlled Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss (Get the book.)
