Nature Made's Natural Vitamin E is recommended as part of a daily regimen for heart health, women's and men's health, longevity, prenatal care, memory, and fitness. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that fights against damaging natural substances known as free radicals. It is incorporated into the fat-based tissues of the body, such as the heart, fat-carrier molecules like LDL ("bad" cholesterol), and our cell membranes, where it acts to stabilize these structures and protect them from free radical attack. Vitamin E also protects our cells from compounds such as lead, mercury, and other heavy metals. Vitamin E complements vitamin C in its function; therefore, it's recommended to take the two vitamins together. There are several natural compounds, called tocopherols, that demonstrate vitamin E activity, but the natural form of vitamin E (d-Alpha Tocopherol) is the most common and potent form, and is best absorbed by the body. This natural vitamin E is the most active compound in terms of antioxidant activity.
