Vitamin E (Tocopherol) Natural

There are eight basic forms of vitamin E which are either synthetically or naturally derived. The most typical forms are d-alpha-tocopherol, d-alpha-tocopherol acetate, dl-alpha tocopherol, and dl-alpha tocopherol acetate.

The “d” prefix in front of the “alpha” means that the product was derived naturally from vegetable oils or wheat germ; the “dl” prefix indicates that the vitamin was created from a synthetic base.

Research shows that natural vitamin E is more effective than their synthetic counterparts.
