Overview

NOW Vitamin E-400 provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol plus mixed tocopherols (beta, gamma, and delta). Unlike synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha), natural d-alpha tocopherol has twice the bioactivity. The inclusion of all four tocopherol forms provides comprehensive vitamin E activity, as gamma-tocopherol has unique anti-inflammatory properties not shared by alpha-tocopherol alone. The 250-softgel count provides over 8 months of daily supplementation.
