"You want 200 to 400 IU daily of natural vitamin e (D-alpha-tocopherol) in combination with the family of other vitamin E compounds, including gamma-tocopherol and tocotrienols. You can purchase these compounds together in one gel cap. Avoid vitamin E with the designation of DL-alpha-tocopherol, which is a synthetic vitamin E. According to Margaret G. Traber, an expert on vitamin E at the Linus Pauling Institute, natural vitamin e has at least one and one half times greater absorption, delivery to tissues, and utilization than the synthetic form. Vitamin E is fat soluble, so take it with food." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"It is important that one use a natural vitamin e with all the tocophe-nols and tocotrienals factors. Bioflavonoids Recent research indicates that flavonoids may be useful in treating diabetes.119'120 Flavonoids include quercetin, which promotes insulin secretion and is a potent inhibitor of sorbitol accumulation. Quercetin has been found in vitro to inhibit sorbitol accumulation in human lenses,121 and has been found to slow the course of cataract formation." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"These synthetic supplements also differ from natural vitamin e because they are missing all other tocopherols and tocotrienols. The inconsistent results in medical studies with these synthetic supplements may be partially due to these differences between vitamin E found in food and vitamin E found in synthetic supplements. Toxicity of Vitamin E Vitamin E is not toxic, but, in very large doses, it may impair blood clotting. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for natural alpha-tocopherol is 1000 mg per day, about sixty-six times the RDA." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Among 20,000 women taking 600 IU of natural vitamin e every other day for 10 years, there was no apparent significant reduction in risk for cancer or major cardiovascular events (heart attack, nonfatal stroke, and death from cardiovascular disease). Another recent study found that 400 IU or more of vitamin E a day might actually increase the risk of heart failure, causing some experts to caution people to limit or stop taking vitamin E altogether. How could this popular antioxidant increase such risks, much less fail to offer hoped-for protection?" - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Plenty of vitamin E if enough fruits and vegetables are eaten. 44. natural vitamin e is: (a) dl-alpha-tocopherol. (b) Mixed tocopherols from food. (c) SRR-alpha-tocopherol. (d) All of the above. 45. Enriched white flour, compared to whole wheat flour, has: (a) No vitamin E. (b) Two percent of the vitamin E. (c) The same amount of vitamin E. (d) Twice as much vitamin E. 46. Vitamin K is: (a) Water soluble. (b) Fat soluble. (c) Not soluble. (d) Mineral soluble. 47. Vitamin K converts amino acid residues in certain proteins so that: (a) The proteins can bind magnesium." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Traber, an expert on vitamin E at the Linus Pauling Institute, natural vitamin e has at least one and one half times greater absorption, delivery to tissues, and utilization than the synthetic form. Vitamin E is fat soluble, so take it with food. You may even find enough vitamin E as part of a multisupplement. And although we recommend it, we don't single it out here as one of the frontline nutrients in our plaque-busting program of New Cardiology. Garlic In Bram Stoker's classic 1897 tale Dracula, the fair heroine Lucy uses a braid of garlic to fend off the blood-sucking count." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"The Natural-Source Vitamin E Association states that natural vitamin e can only exist in a chemically altered, esterified, form. It is this chemically altered form of natural vitamin e that is used in their studies. This form of vitamin E is known to have no antioxidant function in the body. This is not the form to use when testing the effectiveness of vitamin E. The best and most active form of vitamin E is the un-esterified, all-natural mixed tocopherol form, consisting of alpha, beta gamma, and delta tocopherols. This is also the more expensive form." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol or d-alpha-tocopheryl) is better absorbed, more active, persists longer, and gives better antioxidant support. The natural vitamin e is more expensive so many manufacturers use the less expensive, but less effective, synthetic products. A vitamin program needs balance because some vitamins are able to cancel out the effects of others and too much of one substance may nullify the effect of another." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Vitamin E Supplements Vitamin E supplements must be taken with food for proper absorption. natural vitamin e in supplements is designated by a d as in d-alpha-tocopherol. Synthetic vitamin E is designated with a dl as in dl-alpha-tocopherol. The newer and more accurate designations differentiate between R for natural and S for synthetic. As seen in Figure 5-7, the synthetic forms are different from the natural forms. There are eight possible isomers: RRR (natural), SRR, SSR, SRS, SSS, RSR, RRS, and RSS. Synthetic vitamin E is a mix of eight isomers, of which only one is natural." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"That same ray of light splits into two parts when passing through a synthetic-one part bending to the right (d for dexorotary), the other to the left (1 for levorotary). A natural vitamin e fraction, for example, is easily identified by the "d-alpha tocopherol." the synthetic by "dl-alpha-tocopherol." (Incidentally, the body can't use the 1-form of vitamin E, and the 1-form may even inhibit the d-form from entering cell membranes.) 2Kodak, Hoffman La Roche, etc." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"For optimal health and disease resistance, 400 to 800 IU of natural vitamin e is often taken. It is recommended that supplementation of vitamin E over 400 IU be increased gradually so that the body can get used to the blood-thinning effects, especially in cases of high blood pressure. Some surgeons recommend the discontinuation of vitamin E supplementation before surgery to decrease any risk of excess bleeding. Premature infants are very sensitive to alpha-tocopherol supplements." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"The germ provides natural vitamin e. The bran of rice contains the phytochemicals that may reduce cholesterol. Home Remedies Japanese farmers ate mochi, a chewy cake made from brown rice, on cold winter days to increase their stamina. Throw Me a Lifesaver! HEART HEALTH: A small, randomized study examined the effects of adding rice bran oil to the diet. While the control diet did not lower cholesterol, the one containing rice bran oil lowered LDL cholesterol by seven percent." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol or dl-alpha-tocopheryl) is a byproduct of petroleum products (acetone and turpentine). natural vitamin e (d-alpha-tocopherol or d-alpha-tocopheryl) is better absorbed, more active, persists longer, and gives better antioxidant support. The natural vitamin e is more expensive so many manufacturers use the less expensive, but less effective, synthetic products. A vitamin program needs balance because some vitamins are able to cancel out the effects of others and too much of one substance may nullify the effect of another." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Supplements: Take 1,200 IU of natural vitamin e (mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols) a day to help treat neuralgia, and 400 IU a day to help prevent it. Vitamin C helps to supporl the immune system and reduces stress damage to nerves. Take 1,000 mg four times a day Also take 30 mgof zinc a day to help support the immune system.

"The Belgian doctors state that "In addition to saw palmetto berry extracts, a combination of selenium, lycopene, natural vitamin e and fish oil, seems warranted." [Aging Male 7: 155-69, 2004] A study that employed supplemental vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, selenium and zinc daily for 8 years found a measurable reduction in prostate cancer risk among men with normal PSA counts.

"Instead, most studies reported in the medical literature use d-alpha-tocopherol, which is a natural vitamin e. I have already shared my concern that most studies are done with just one or two antioxidants, with researchers looking for the "magic bullet." But an understanding of oxidative stress and how it can damage the body forces us to realize that a one- or two-nutrient approach is like trying to bring down a locomotive with a rifle." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"Despite the lack of consistency in published research, some doctors recommend that people at risk for a heart attack supplement with selenium—most commonly 200 meg per day Several studies113'114 including two double-blind trials115' 116 have reported that 400 to 800 IU of natural vitamin e (page 609) reduces the risk of heart attacks.

"Whethet 400 to 800 IU of natural vitamin e is, or is not, protective remains unclear. Vitamin E also plays some role in the body's ability to process glucose. Some, but not all, trials suggest that vitamin E supplementation may eventually prove to be helpful in the prevention and treatment of diabetes (page 152). In the last ten years, the functions of vitamin E in the cell have been further clarified." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc.
