Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that has numerous health benefits.
Vitamin E fights against damaging natural substances known as free radicals. It is incorporated in to 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 should be avoided when taking:
- Current research does not indicate that this supplement should be avoided when taking prescription drugs
Vitamin E should be used with caution when combined with:
- Blood thinning medication - (i.e. Warfarin and Coumadin), or other agents that affect the ability of blood to clot (Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs, Aspirin, etc.). Vitamin E in combination with these medications may increase risk of bleeding.
- Lipid-lowering drugs - Vitamin E in combination with other antioxidant vitamins (beta-carotene, C and selenium) may reduce the therapeutic benefits of combinations of statins and niacin. Monitor lipid levels closely for potential changes in drug efficacy if using these antioxidants while taking statins plus niacin.
- Chemotherapy Agents - High doses of antioxidants should be avoided during chemotherapy treatment until additional evidence is available.
Combining certain prescription drugs and dietary supplements can lead to undesirable effects such as:
- Diminished drug effectiveness
- Reduced supplement effectiveness
- Impaired drug and/or supplement absorption
Given that no two cases are alike, all patients should be aware of the potential drug-nutrient interactions that may exist and are encouraged to follow up with their primary health care professional.

- What is the difference between 100% Natural and Water Solublized Vitamin E?
-
Natural vitamin E (d-alpha) is derived from soybeans. Natural vitamin E is the preferred form of vitamin E for absorption by the body. Water solublized vitamin E is a synthetic form (dl-alpha) of the vitamin. Although it is not as absorbable as the natural form, those who have intolerance to soy products may use this form without allergic reaction. The water solublized form may also be beneficial for individuals with malabsorption problems unable to digest fats properly.
- What is the difference between the two following forms of Vitamin E: d-alpha and dl-alpha tocopherol?
-
The d-alpha form is natural vitamin E, which is derived from soybeans. The dl-alpha form is a manmade, synthetic vitamin E. Clinical studies done on vitamin E have shown the natural form to be better absorbed compared to the synthetic form.
- When speaking of Vitamin E, how many IU equal a milligram?
-
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, which is typically measured in International Units (IU). If you are taking the Nature Made 100% Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol), 1 milligram (mg) is equivalent to about 1.49 IU. If you are taking the Nature Made synthetic Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate) 1 milligram (mg) is equivalent to about 1 IU.
