Antioxidants in vitamins such as E are our body's defense
mechanisms against all the negative effects of free radicals. In
addition to Vitamin E, there are other sources for antioxidants:
Vitamin A and C, bioflavonoids, peroxidase, alpha lipoid acid,
glutathione, arotenoids, proanthocyanidins and superoxide
dismutase. But aside from these various antioxidants, Vitamin E is
of greatest interest and importance because it is oil soluble.
Because of this, it is an important aspect for the protection of
free radical damage to the fatty molecules in our cells. The
question arises which brand of Vitamin E is best for you. There are
many different brands that are available. You should always choose
a natural form over synthetic. Due to the differences in their
molecular structure, synthetic Vitamin E supplements are not very
well accepted by the body. They are also not as biologically active
as the natural form. Synthetic supplements are made of petroleum
derivatives and are not as effective as their natural counterpart.
This fact was also endorsed by a study conducted by The American
Journal of Natural Nutrition in 1998 which stated that natural
Vitamin E supplements are much better than the synthetic ones.
Remember, not all vitamin brands are created equal. A majority of
Vitamin E on the market is rancid and of poor quality. They either
do nothing to improve your health or actually cause harm. Like all
other types of supplements, high quality is important. So where can
you find high quality Vitamin E? I use Unique E by AC Grace. The
quality of this brand is well beyond any other brand I have seen.
Vitamin E is so important to AC Grace that it is the only
product/supplement this company creates. This brand is also used
and recommended by many naturopathic and alternative health
practitioners. Doctors usually prescribe around 400 I.U per day per
40 pounds of body weight. However, this amount can be increased to
2400 I.U. or 3200 I.U. per day for people with a serious illness or
extreme Vitamin E deficiency. As always, before beginning any type
of supplementation program, you should consult with your naturopath
and/or perform a mineral analysis test of your hair to determine
specific needs for your body. This is part three in a three part
series of articles on the powers of vitamin E. The complete article
