Now Foods Vitamin E-400 Mixed Tocopherols, 100 Softgels

Benefits of Vitamin E-400 Mixed Tocopherols

Looking for a top notch antioxidant to support your overall well-being? This natural vitamin E supplement with mixed tocopherols might be just what you need. Vitamin E is famous for its ability to help protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage DNA and speed up ageing. Your immune system also relies on vitamin E to keep functioning properly, especially as you get older. Many people use vitamin E for skin health—it helps maintain moisture and may protect against UV damage when combined with sunscreen. It also supports eye health by shielding the lens and retina from oxidative harm.

Each softgel delivers 400 IU of natural mixed tocopherols, providing a robust dose that aligns with the daily value (30 IU for adults) when taken as directed. The natural form (RRR-alpha-tocopherol) is better retained by the body than synthetic versions, making these softgels a smart choice for efficient absorption.

How to Choose the Best Vitamin E Supplement

When picking a vitamin E product, look for one that clearly states the source and form. NOW Foods Vitamin E-400 is made with natural mixed tocopherols, is non-GMO, and is certified vegan and gluten-free. The softgel form boosts absorption since vitamin E is fat-soluble—taking it with a meal that contains fat helps your body take it up. Also, note the absence of unnecessary fillers: this supplement contains only mixed tocopherols, a softgel capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water), and organic extra virgin olive oil as a base. Always check the label and follow directions for use.

Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E

One of the most important differences in vitamin E supplements is natural versus synthetic. Natural vitamin E is labelled as d-alpha-tocopherol, while synthetic is dl-alpha-tocopherol. The natural form has nearly twice the bioavailability of synthetic. Mixed tocopherols go a step further by including other tocopherols that work together. Studies suggest that gamma-tocopherol, often missing from synthetic products, may help trap specific nitrogen-based free radicals. By choosing mixed tocopherols, you get a more complete antioxidant profile.

What Are Mixed Tocopherols in Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is not a single compound but a family of eight fat-soluble antioxidants: four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols. Most cheap supplements contain only synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol. NOW Foods Vitamin E-400 uses natural mixed tocopherols sourced from non-GMO soy oil, offering a full spectrum of vitamin E activity. Each form has unique benefits—gamma-tocopherol, for instance, is particularly good at neutralising certain free radicals.

Recommended Usage

For adults, take one softgel daily with a meal. Each softgel provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E (mixed tocopherols). Do not exceed 1,000 IU per day from all sources unless advised by a health care professional. Consult your doctor before use if you are taking blood-thinning medications like warfarin, as vitamin E may enhance anticoagulant effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also seek medical advise before supplementing.
