Natural Vitamin E (in the form of ‘d’-alpha-tocopherol) has been proven to have twice the activity compared to other synthetic forms of alpha-tocopherol (dl-alpha-tocopherol) contained in similar Vitamin E formulations on the market.
Vitamin E has been recognized by many researchers as one of the most important dietary antioxidants for humans. Specifically it is considered the quintessential non-polar antioxidant protecting cell membranes, (including the membranes of bronchial and vascular endothelium cells) and lipoproteins from oxidative degradation. This is achieved by the reduction of peroxides, fatty acid radicals and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation reactions. Studies also show that it contributes to the maintenance of heart health, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation and preventing their conversion into unsaturated fatty acids. Vitamin E is also important during menopause as well as for maintaining good health of the skin and reproductive system.

The tocopherols (tocopherols) are a group of fat-soluble chemical compounds of similar chemical structure (homologous compounds) with strong antioxidant properties. They have multiple physiological functions and intake by the human body in small amounts through food is essential. Collectively tocopherols are known as vitamin E and are found in vegetable oils and generally in plant-based foods. Tocopherols are distinguished by the letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta and eta. The most important of these is alpha tocopherol (d-alpha-tocopherol), as it is characterized by better absorption and bioavailability and in this form most of the clinical studies have been conducted.
The VIT-E of Lamberts is produced from the seeds of sunflower (natural Vitamin E) in the form of ‘d’-alpha tocopherol which is the most similar to the VIT-E obtained from foods. All Lamberts VIT-E are in enteric-coated capsule form to achieve maximum possible absorption by the intestine with bile secretion
