Vitamin E is the premier nutrient for checking and disarming health threatening free radicals. Vitamin E protects vitamins A and C from oxidation. Vitamin E's ability to protect cell membranes makes it valuable for people in polluted environments and those with active lifestyles, as physical exertion increases production of free radicals. Most people by now have heard something about the dangers of free radicals, or oxidants as they are also called, and about antioxidants as protective agents. This natural-source vitamin E is an excellent antioxidant and an important nutrient for heart health and more. Natural source vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) is almost twice as bioavailable as synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol).
