Synthetic Vitamin E Not the Same as Natural Vitamin E We have to remember that synthetic vitamins are not the same as the natural kinds, and this includes vitamin E. It appears that especially with synthetic antioxidants and synthetic fat soluble vitamins (A, D & E), damage can actually occur in your body. If you take vitamin A with vitamin D, as in naturally occurring cod liver oil, you can take more without any toxicity. Natural Vitamin E Boosts Immune Function
The synthetic version of vitamin E has a “dl-” in the name, as in dl-alpha tocopherol acetate that they used in this study, so make sure and stay away from that. Natural Vitamin E, on the other hand, has been shown in many studies to boost immune function and that of course helps protect you from cancer. Always check out studies thoroughly before believing what you read!
