The Solgar Natural Source Liquid Vitamin E is a dietary supplement in liquid form, with 101mg alpha-TE vitamin E per 0.5ml, equivalent to 150IU d-alpha tocopherol, corresponding to 842% of the Reference Dietary Intake. The dose of 0.5ml corresponds to 5 drops. The package contains 59.2ml of liquid.
It is aimed at adults who have difficulty with capsules or prefer to adjust the dose drop by drop, as well as those looking for natural vitamin E instead of synthetic.
With the term vitamin E, we do not mean a single substance but a family of eight fat-soluble molecules, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Alpha tocopherol is the one that the human organism recognizes and prioritizes, thanks to a special transport protein in the liver.
Here, a second distinction is added. Vitamin E of natural origin is referred to as d-alpha tocopherol, while synthetic vitamin E is referred to as dl-alpha tocopherol and consists of a mixture of eight stereoisomers, only one of which is identical to the natural molecule. This preparation uses the natural d form, enhanced with unmixed natural tocopherols, so that the profile is close to that found in food. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.* This is the only approved health claim for it in the European Union.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself:
The above statements are attributed to the manufacturer. Statements from the original presentation concerning the treatment of skin conditions and premature aging are not reproduced, as they are not allowed for dietary supplements.
This is a single-component preparation in an oily base of safflower oil and vegetable oil. The choice is not decorative: vitamin E is fat-soluble and the presence of oil, together with taking during a meal, helps its utilization by the body.
The formula is declared by the manufacturer as vegan and kosher and contains no sugar, salt, starch, gluten, yeast, wheat, dairy, preservatives, sweeteners, artificial fragrances or colors.
It suits adults who have difficulty swallowing capsules and prefer a liquid that they can add to a spoon or food. It is of interest to vegans and vegetarians, as soft vitamin E capsules often contain gelatin, while here the form is entirely plant-based. It is an option for those who want flexibility in drop-by-drop dosing, as well as for people specifically seeking the natural d form of tocopherol.
