What is vitamin E?

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin.

Vitamin E is a family of compounds that includes alpha tocopherol, beta tocopherol, gamma tocopherol, delta tocopherol, and four tocotrienes.

d-alpha tocopherol is the natural form of vitamin E in supplements, the most common form of vitamin E found in foods, and the most potent form of vitamin E.

dl-alpha tocopherol is the synthetic form of vitamin E in supplements. Synthetic vitamin E is slightly less potent than natural vitamin E but is less expensive.
