100% Natural source Vitamin E is a key nutrient for heart health, immune support and nerve and muscle function. This product contains additional tocopherols: beta, delta and gamma. As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E is an essential ally against pollution, aging, toxins and other causes of free radical damage. This is a form which includes mixed tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) which may contribute to a greater health effect than alpha tocopherol alone. Vitamin E's ability to protect cell membranes makes it valuable for people in polluted environments and those with active lifestyles, as physical exertion increases production of free radicals. Approximately 400 IU of vitamin E reduces exercise-induced free radical damage and helps with athletic performance. Experts agree that obtaining adequate vitamin E from the daily diet is difficult and therefore recommend daily supplementation. Men and women who supplement with at least 100 IU of vitamin E per day have a 37-41% drop in the risk of heart disease. CHAOS (Cambridge Heart Antioxidant Study) reported a 77% drop in nonfatal heart attacks when people were given 400-800 IU of vitamin E per day. Natural source vitamin E, designated by the prefix D, (D-alpha-tocopherol) is almost twice as bioavailable as synthetic vitamin E, designated by the prefix DL (DL-alpha-tocopherol). D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, an ester of alpha tocopherol, is a very stable form of vitamin E and is equally effective in humans.

Confusing labelFeb 23, 2012
By A. Lamb The product contains a very confusing label. Foremost, the product is called "Natural Factors Mixed Tocopherol Vitamin E" on Amazon's website. I was specifically looking for the "Mixed Tocopherol" variety of Vitamin E. Unfortunately, the "Supplement Facts" portion of the label indicates "Vitamn E (as d-alpha tocopherol)". It further indicates "(from natural mixed tocopherols including beta, delta, & gamma)". So what does that actually mean? You're only getting the "d-alpha" from the batch of ingredients? I haven't seen other products with such cryptic descriptions. The softgels are the same yellow/clear color from other d-Alpha products, very different from the reddish softgels I've had in legitimate Mixed Tocopherol products.
Further, the label claims "Product of USA", but indicates its "Manufactured by Natural Factors Canada". From their website, all of Natural Factors' factories are in Canada. How can it then be a "Product of USA" as they claim? Perhaps all of the "Made in China" labels on everything else we buy can now add a "Product of USA" underneath.
Bottom line -- if you're looking for "Mixed Tocopherols", look elsewhere. This product is too dubious.

Vitamin E without AftertasteSep 26, 2011
By S. Mueller
"Cowgirl"
I take Vitamin E...let's face it--a lot of people do..But most Vitamin E capsules/gel form have an after taste that lingers for most of the day...Not this brand...This is a simple way to take Vitamin E--capsule/gel form without that sickie feeling other brands leave with you. This capsule in the gel cap form is not the fake Vitamin E, it is the GOOD Mixed D-Alpha Tocopherol. So buy with confidence!!
Much better than synthetic EApr 29, 2012
By C. Kaiser
"Clint K."
These mixed tocopherols are much better than the synthetic Alpha only vitamin E the "pharmacomafia" used in that study which was designed to make Vitamin e fail, so they could publish phony scare sories. While it is true that synthetic Alpha tocopherol doesn't decrease disease, MIXED natural tocopherols, when balanced with natural Gamma E and Tocotrienols, do have prostate protecting effects and reduce your chances of cancers, along with cardio benefits. Make sure you are balancing this with at least half as much GAMMMA E, and tocotrienols, and it will work great.
