Multivitamin with Vitamin E as alpha-tocopherol, not alpha-tocopherol ace acetate
Dr. Mercola talks about the importance of Vitamin E, and recommends:
“When choosing a vitamin E supplement, it’s important to select a natural form, as synthetic versions are less effective and may even pose health risks. Synthetic vitamin E is often labeled as “alpha-tocopherol acetate,” with the word “acetate” indicating its synthetic nature. Additionally, many synthetic vitamin E supplements are “racemic,” meaning they contain both beneficial and ineffective isomers.”

Alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active form of vitamin E and is often preferred for its antioxidant properties. While alpha-tocopherol acetate is a stable, synthetic form commonly used in supplements, it converts to alpha-tocopherol in the body. Both forms can be beneficial, but it’s important to choose supplements that align with your specific health needs. Always consult with a healthcare professional to ensure you’re getting the right nutrients in the right forms for your body.
