Lamberts Vitamin E is extracted from a natural vegetable oil and has twice the potency of its natural d-alpha tocopherol form, as it is found in food. Research shows that natural vitamin E has superior biological activity and is more easily absorbed and retained in the body than synthetic vitamin E. The synthetic form is called dl-alpha tocopherol, and is the cheapest and most common form used in many vitamin E products and has been recognized as one of the most important dietary antioxidants for humans. There are two main groups of vitamins: fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, and E, which can be dissolved in fat and stored in the body, and water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins B and C, which are soluble in water and cannot be stored by the body. Natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) has been scientifically proven to be twice as potent as its synthetic counterpart (dl-alpha tocopherol) and has been hailed by many researchers as one of the most important dietary antioxidants known to man. Vitamin E protects every cell in the body from oxidative stress caused by reactive compounds called "free radicals," and these protective properties have placed vitamin E at the center of worldwide research. It is recommended to take 1 capsule daily with a meal. Do not exceed the expressly recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of small children.
