Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, is stored
in adipose tissue, liver, and muscle. It is also stored in the adrenal and
pituitary glands, red blood cells and platelets, testes, and ovaries.
Vitamin E is unstable to heat, light, and oxygen.
Vitamin E plays an important role in
protecting the body tissues from damaging reactions caused by free-radicals,
which arise from many normal metabolic functions. Free-radicals are
molecules that are energized at the loss of an electron. They become
energetic and unstable and will react with any other molecule to acquire
another electron. Free-radicals are responsible for many types of cancer,
DNA damage, and blood clots. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant and it helps
prolong the life of red blood cells, it plays an essential role in cellular
respiration. It protects biological membranes such as those found in the
nerves, muscles, and cardiovascular system. It helps the body effectively
use and store vitamin A and protects B-complex and vitamin C from oxidation
reactions.

Natural versus Synthetic Vitamin E:
Alpha tocopherol is the scientific name for the form of vitamin E that our
bodies use. There are a variety of types of vitamin E such as beta, gamma,
and delta tocopherols (often called "mixed" tocopherols) which exist in
nature along with alpha tocopherol. Vitamin E come sin either a D or L form.
The form that exists in our food and the form that our bodies need is the D
form: D-alpha tocopherol. The L form does not work in our bodies.
Synthetic vitamin E is not the same as natural vitamin E and has lower
biological activity. When vitamin E is made synthetically a mixture of the D and
L forms is automatically produced and cannot be separated. This is called
DL-alpha tocopherol and, although much less expensive than natural D-alpha
tocopherol, is not biologically active. In fact, recent scientific studies have
indicated that synthetic vitamin E does not stay in the body nearly as long as
natural vitamin E, making it a much less effective protector.
Vitamin E in its raw state (D-alpha tocopherol) is in oil form. If it is
put into tablets or hard gelatin capsules it must be esterified. That means that
a natural carrier must be added, such as acetate or succinate. These esterified
forms are written as D-alpha tocopheryl acetate or D-alpha tocopheryl succinate.
Since the carrier breaks down when ingested, esterified vitamin E is still
considered natural as long as the D is present versus the DL.
