D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate Powder (Vitamin E) (700 IU)

Vitamin E is a catchall term for a group of eight fat-soluble compounds that split evenly into four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Tocopherols contain saturated side chains and exert significant antioxidant effects. Tocotrienols have unsaturated side chains and support brain and heart health. Both tocopherols and tocotrienols divide one step further into alpha, beta, gamma, and delta vitamers. Vitamin E tocopherols are potent antioxidants that help protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. Vitamin E also supports a healthy immune system. Vitamin E is the first antioxidant compound ever sold on the market. Scientists first discovered and isolated this essential vitamin in 1922. They discovered Vitamin E is vital for fertilizing eggs to achieve live births in animal studies. As a result, they named it tocopherol from the Greek words for birth, bear, and carry.
