A fat-soluble NATURAL Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol acetate) dietary supplement.
TOCO VE™ AND BENEFITS
• A fat-soluble NATURAL Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol acetate) dietary supplement. Natural Vitamin E (VE) is much more bioactive versus the synthetic form of dl-alpha tocopherol.
• Toco VE™ supports the protection of cell membranes from toxic compounds, heavy metals and free radical damage.
• Vitamin E is important for the development and maintenance of nerve and muscle function.

General Description
Vitamin E is found naturally derived from vegetable oils, primarily soybean, corn, canola, and sunflower oils. Vitamin E found in nature is commonly referred to as d-alpha-tocopherol or RRR-alpha-tocopherol, but other natural forms exist. Esters of natural-source alpha-tocopherol, such as acetate, succinate and etc, are also available. However, only the alpha isomer is currently recognized as measurable for nutritional supplementation. "Vitamin E" is the collective name for a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities.
Naturally occurring vitamin E exists in eight chemical forms (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol) that have varying levels of biological activity. Alpha- (or α-) tocopherol is presently the only form that is recognized to meet human requirements.
Synthetic Vitamin E, which is commonly referred to as dl-alpha-tocopherol or all-rac-alpha-tocopherol, is a mixture of eight alpha-tocopherol stereoisomers, one isomer is the natural form of d-alpha-tocopherol and the remaining seven stereoisomers have different molecular configurations due to the manufacturing process. Variations in molecular structures of the natural (d-alpha tocopherol) versus synthetic (dl-alpha tocopherol) forms impact the vitamin’s absorption in the body and thus, in turn its biological availability.
Natural Vitamin E maintains numerous biological advantages when compared to synthetic Vitamin E, for instance:
• Vitamin E from natural sources (d-alpha tocopherol) is not exactly reproduced by synthetic (dl-alpha tocopherol) manufacturing methods. The resulted effect is that the synthetic form of Vitamin E is not absorbed as completely as its naturally derived counterpart.
• Natural form d-alpha tocopherol is also retained longer and has greater absorption by the body in comparison to the synthetic dl-alpha tocopherol form. The bioavailability of natural source Vitamin E is twice that of synthetic.
• A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, March 1998, reported that the absorption of Vitamin E through the placenta is 3.5 times higher with the d-alpha tocopherol form versus the dl-alpha tocopherol form.
• Synthetic Vitamin E is only produced as alpha tocopherol. However, natural Vitamin E is available as alpha tocopherol or a mixture of all four isomers (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). Studies indicate that the beta, gamma and delta tocopherols could provide benefits previously unrecognized.
