Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) Facts
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and powerful antioxidant found naturally in nuts, seeds, plant oils, and leafy greens. It exists in several forms with the most common being tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). When provided as mixed tocopherols, vitamin E delivers a spectrum of these naturally occurring compounds, offering a broader antioxidant profile than alpha-tocopherol alone.
Key Benefits of Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols):
- Antioxidant support - helps defend cells against oxidative stress
- Immune health - contributes to the maintenance of normal immune function
- Skin and tissue health - supports the integrity of skin by protecting lipids and collagen
- Circulatory support - plays a role in maintaining the health of blood vessels
Why it Matters:
Over 90% of U.S. adults fail to meet vitamin E intake recommendations Ā¹.
Vitamin E is the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant, protecting cell membranes and supporting normal immune function Ā².
Everyday factorsālike diet, stress, and environmental exposureācreate free radicals that can stress cells. Supplementing with mixed tocopherols ensures you receive the full spectrum of vitamin E's antioxidant activity, not just one form, for more complete protection. This helps support long-term immune health, skin health, and circulatory function. AG1delivers vitamin E as mixed tocopherols which is how the nutrient exists in nature and has enhanced bioavailability.
