Vitamin E is one the most popular vitamins worldwide. It is made up of a group of eight related anitoxidant compounds known as tocopherols and tocotrienols. The eight different compounds are four tocopherolsand four tocotrienols (designated as alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). They are found in different places in the plant. The green parts of a plant contain the mostly alpha tocopherol and the seed germ and bran contain mostly tocotrienols. Alpha tocopherol is considered the most absorbable form of Vitamin E.
The tocopherol compounds are sensitive and can be destroyed by light, heat, and oxygen. After buying a Vitamin E supplement, it is important to store it in a cool, dry, dark place.
Vitamin E is found in foods that may not be consumed on a regular basis. This may be one reason it is important as a supplement. It can be found in almonds, asparagus, avocado, broccoli, corn, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, wheat germ, and whole grains.
Vitamin E is a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant. It is regulated in the United States as a dietary supplement. As such, supplement manufacturers may include statements of how the substance may affect the body through "structure and function" claims.
