Wait there are two types of Vitamin E? Whoa!

Look at your Vitamin E supplement, flip it over and look for three things:

• Does it say d-alpha or dl-alpha? Natural or synthetic?

• Is it tocopherol (free form) or tocopheryl (esterified)?

• Is the price difference justified by the form?

So what’s the difference?

dl-alpha tocopherol is the synthetic version as the extra ‘l’ means it contains both the natural form AND a mirror-image version it doesn’t.

d-alpha tocopherol is the natural form so your body can absorb it better.

Pretty interesting, right?

Stay well!
