Product Description

NatureWise uses natural d-alpha-tocopherol from sunflower oil — more bioavailable than synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol. 400 IU (268 mg) per softgel, soy-free.

What We Like

  • Natural d-alpha-tocopherol (roughly twice the bioavailability of synthetic)
  • From sunflower oil, soy-free
  • 120 softgels = 4 months’ supply
  • Very affordable price

What We’re Missing

  • Alpha-tocopherol only — no mixed tocopherol spectrum (gamma, delta)
  • The SELECT trial showed increased prostate cancer risk with long-term high-dose use
  • 400 IU slightly exceeds the EFSA upper limit of 300 mg/day

Usage Recommendation

1 softgel daily with a fatty meal. Do not take high doses long-term without medical guidance. Consult a doctor if you take anticoagulants or have a bleeding disorder.

Ingredient dossier

Vitamin E: 8 lipid-soluble antioxidants protecting cell membranes. Natural mixed tocopherols are generally safe; high-dose synthetic forms carry risks documented in the SELECT trial.
