Unlock the Superiority of Natural Vitamin E!
27 Aug 2024Research studies reveal that natural vitamin E is not only more bioavailable than synthetic but also stays longer in our tissues, offering sustained benefits. But the advantages don't end there. Beyond superior absorption, natural vitamin E packs a powerful punch against oxidativ estress, bolstering heart health, supporting the immune system, and even enhancing skin radiance. Plus, with its anti-inflammatory properties, it's a key player in fightin off chronic health issues.

Did you know that vitamin E isn’t just a single performer but rather a complex group of 8 analogs? These 8 compounds include 4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols. Interestingly, the predominant form in the body is alpha-tocopherol, making up more than 90%. So, when we talk about vitamin E, we mostly focus on alpha-tocopherol, the key player that guides our daily vitamin E requirements.
Our bodies get alpha-tocopherol from 2 main sources. There’s the naturally sourced version, found in seed oils and various foods, and then there’s the synthesized kind of alpha-tocopherol. Both forms are commonly found in commercially available vitamin E and fortified products.
Enhanced bioavailability and health benefits of natural vitamin E
Exploring the nuances of vitamin E reveals a striking distinction between its natural and synthetic forms. Natural vitamin E, scientifically known as D-alpha-tocopherol or RRR-alpha-tocopherol, consists of a single isomer, and is the one found in nature and in certain foods. On the other side, synthetic vitamin E, labeled as DL-Alpha-Tocopherol, is a blend of 8 different isomers, only 1 of which is identical to the natural form.
Research indicates that this difference is crucial in how our bodies absorb and utilize these 2 variants. Natural vitamin E is known to be more bioavailable compared to its synthetic equivalent. Moreover, it stays longer in human tissues, whereas the synthetic version is expelled more swiftly. Higher levels of D-Alpha-Tocopherol than DL-Alpha-Tocopherol in various tissues, including plasma, red blood cells, and muscles, corroborate this (1).
The root of this difference lies in their molecular structures, which allows our body’s absorption mechanisms to recognize and utilize them more effectively. Furthermore, the liver shows a notable preference for natural vitamin E, selecting it first for release into the bloodstream. This selective behavior by the liver ensures that natural vitamin E is preferentially incorporated into lipoproteins. As a result, natural vitamin E is more likely to accumulate in body tissues.
The power of natural vitamin E for optimal health and wellness
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established that, for food-labeling purposes, natural vitamin E is about twice as bioavailable as synthetic vitamin E. This means that taking equal doses of both types results in the accumulation in the body of twice as much natural vitamin E as the synthetic form.
But the benefits of natural vitamin E are not limited to bioavailability alone. It’s a powerful biological antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. It’s also an ally of our immune system and promotes skin health by protecting against UV radiation and improving skin barrier function. Moreover, it contributes to eye health by reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Its anti-inflammatory effects protect against chronic inflammation, a root cause of many health conditions.
