Solgar Vitamin E 400 IU
by Solgar
"Natural d-alpha tocopherol vitamin E — 400 IU from natural sources for antioxidant protection and skin health"
Overview
Solgar Vitamin E provides 400 IU (268mg) of natural d-alpha tocopherol — the most biologically active form of vitamin E. Natural vitamin E (d-alpha) has approximately twice the bioavailability of synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha). Vitamin E is the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant, protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage. It's particularly important for skin health (UV protection, wound healing), immune function, and cardiovascular health. Solgar has been producing premium supplements since 1947 and their vitamin E is a category benchmark.
