“Vitamin E is a fantastic for heart health, but its also a key antioxidant to quench damage to cells. Our antioxidant needs are much higher living in a world full of toxins so topping up those supplies is key to maintaining health.”
Tactical Support
An essential nutrient found in foods like vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and wholegrains. Once absorbed in your body, it helps protect your cells by acting as an antioxidant, limiting damage from harmful free radicals that can affect fats, proteins, and DNA
The Game-Changing Nutrient
Helps protect the fats in your cell membranes from oxidative damage, supporting the health of your heart, brain, eyes, skin, and immune system. Also helps your body cope with daily oxidative and inflammatory stress
Form
D-alpha-tocopherol - the natural, most biologically active form of Vitamin E
Dose
15mg per DAILY tablet (RDA 15 mg for adults and children from age 14)
Immune Balance and Defence
Keeps membranes healthy and helps regulate inflammation, supporting an immune response that is active without being over-reactive
Skin Health and Barrier Support
Helps protect skin against oxidative damage from UV light and environmental stress. Supports skin barrier function, moisture, and overall appearance, preventing
crepey skin
Eye Health Support
Contributes to the protection of retinal cell membranes from oxidative stress, which is relevant in conditions such as age-related macular degeneration
Brain and Cognitive Health
Helps protect the delicate fats in brain cell membranes from oxidative damage, supporting nerve signalling and overall brain function
Heart and Circulation Health
Helps limit oxidation of LDL cholesterol and can influence platelet aggregation and vasodilation, mechanisms that may support cardiovascular health
Female Reproductive and Fertility Support
Has been shown to support uterine blood flow and endometrial thickness, helping create a healthier environment for implantation
Menstrual and Cycle Support
Its antioxidant and mild blood-flow-supporting properties can help support endometrial health and reduce menstrual discomfort
Facts & Figures
We are keeping up to speed with the research on Vitamin E. Here are some of the latest clinical studies, critically assessed by peers and published independently.

Design: Randomized, Triple-Blind Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial
Participants: 60 reproductive-aged (15–45 years) women with pelvic pain
Dose: vitamin C (1000 mg/day, 2 tablets of 500 mg each) and vitamin E (800 IU/day, 2 tablets of 400 IU each
Duration: 8 weeks
Results: Following treatment with vitamin C and vitamin E, a significant reduction in MDA and ROS was found compared with the placebo group, and severity of pelvic pain decreasedRead study here.
