Nutri-E 400 Forte

Nutri-E 400 Forte

Nutri-E 400 Forte by Douglas Laboratories contains 400 I.U. of 100% natural, unesterified vitamin E (d- alpha-tocopherol), as well as a guaranteed minimum of the d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta tocopherols, which is unique among most mixed tocopherol products available.

Functions

Vitamin E is the collective term, including four fat-soluble, natural compounds with similar chemical structure; alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol. Of these, alpha-tocopherol has the highest nutritional activity. Eight structural isomers of alpha-tocopherol are possible, but only the d-alpha-tocopherol (RRR-alpha- tocopherol) occurs in nature.

The other seven isomers have less nutritional activity and are present only in synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol). Douglas Laboratories’ Nutri E-400™ Forte softgels contain only natural isomers of vitamin E, including d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma, and d-delta tocopherols.

While the d-alpha isomer is the most well-known form of vitamin E, scientific evidence indicates that gamma-tocopherol may possess unique, distinguishable features. This tocopherol is the major form of vitamin E in seeds and in the US diet, though has not been studied as broadly as has alpha-tocopherol.

Numerous studies have shown gamma-tocopherol to have excellent antioxidant abilities that complements the antioxidant ability of alpha-tocopherol. Additionally, some studies have shown that high dose supplementation of alpha- tocopherols can deplete both plasma and tissue levels of gamma-tocopherol in the body.

Indications

Nutri E-400™ Forte may be a useful dietary supplement for individuals wishing to supplement their diet with vitamin E.
