Ultimate-E® 60 Fish Gelatin Gelcaps

Vitamin E naturally consists of four isomers called tocopherols; Ultimate-E® is specifically formulated to contain all four.

The four types of tocopherols are:

• Alpha- tocopherol
• Beta- tocopherol
• Gamma- tocopherol
• Delta-tocopherol

Alpha-tocopherol is the most researched tocopherol; it works as an antioxidant to fight against free radicals. Free radicals can be found in food or environmental pollutants, and can wreak havoc on your body’s cells.

Antioxidants may also limit the oxidation of fats and lipoproteins in the blood, which are both factors of cardiovascular health problems. This is why vitamin E has been linked to promoting cardiovascular health. People have used vitamin E to help prevent heart attacks, blocked arteries, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Research suggests that gamma-tocopherol may prevent prostate cancer cells from multiplying.

In addition to these benefits, vitamin E may also play a part in reducing the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), as well as those associated with menopausal syndrome. Some studies also indicate that vitamin E contributes to proper hair growth and increased energy. Vitamin E may also promote general skin health, help soothe sun burnt skin, and reduce visible symptoms of some skin disorders. People commonly apply vitamin E directly to the skin to reduce wrinkles and blemishes.

Thorne's Ultimate-E gelcaps contain pure, undiluted vitamin E. The vitamin is extracted from a mixture of vegetable oils, including soy oil. However, any potentially allergenic soy residues are removed during the distillation process. Unlike most vitamin E products on the market, Ultimate-E is not diluted with soy oil. Because the tocopherols come from a natural source, the exact tocopherol profile can vary slightly from batch to batch. Despite this natural variation, extra alpha-tocopherol is added to each batch in order to standardize its amount at 500 IU per capsule.
