Vitamin C works in the watery compartments of the body; vitamin E works inside cell membranes, which are made of fat and are exactly where oxidative damage does the most structural harm. The two are complementary rather than interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form on the label is the thing to check. Natural vitamin E is d-alpha tocopherol; the synthetic version is dl-alpha tocopherol, a mixture of eight isomers of which only one matches what the body uses. The natural form is retained substantially better, and Prairie Naturals uses it. One letter separates them on a label and it is the single most useful thing to know when buying vitamin E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach softgel delivers 400 IU, a high-potency dose, free from artificial additives, gluten and GMOs. Dosing runs one to three softgels daily. Prairie Naturals has been formulating in British Columbia since 1993, without artificial colours, artificial sweeteners or unnecessary fillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Prairie Naturals Vitamin E 400 IU Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis suits anyone building an antioxidant routine, people supporting cardiovascular health, and anyone whose diet is light on the nuts, seeds and oils that supply vitamin E. Because it is fat-soluble it also pairs sensibly with a meal containing fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cautions here are real. Vitamin E has a mild blood-thinning effect, so anyone on anticoagulants needs practitioner advice, and it should be stopped two weeks before scheduled surgery. Anyone with cancer should also consult a practitioner first. The softgel is gelatin, so it is not vegetarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrairie Naturals Vitamin E 400 IU Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural d-Alpha Tocopherol\u003c\/strong\u003e — The natural form, retained by the body substantially better than synthetic dl-alpha.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e400 IU Per Softgel\u003c\/strong\u003e — A high-potency dose in a single easy-to-swallow softgel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFat-Soluble Antioxidant\u003c\/strong\u003e — Works inside cell membranes, where water-soluble antioxidants cannot reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports Cardiovascular Health\u003c\/strong\u003e — Protects circulating lipids from oxidation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports Immune Function\u003c\/strong\u003e — Vitamin E status is linked to immune cell function, particularly with age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree From Artificial Additives\u003c\/strong\u003e — No gluten, no GMOs, no unnecessary excipients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120 Softgels\u003c\/strong\u003e — Four months at one softgel daily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-prairie-naturals-vitamin-e-400iu-120-softgels\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Prairie Naturals Vitamin E?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA high-potency vitamin E supplement providing 400 IU of natural d-alpha tocopherol per softgel, 120 softgels per bottle.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How much do I take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eOne to three softgels daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner.
