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.
