E, Vitamin Complete w/ Selenium (60) 1509-8
Product Fact Sheet*

Modern food harvesting and processing methods can make it difficult to get adequate amounts of vitamin E and the trace mineral selenium in the diet. Vitamin E consists of eight compounds—four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. NSP has created a perfect blend of all eight members of the vitamin E family, along with the beneficial trace mineral selenium.

HOW IT WORKS

Vitamin E and selenium are antioxidants. They work together to help quench free radicals that form as byproducts of metabolic activity and as a result of exposure to damaging environmental chemicals. Both nutrients play key roles in the production of certain enzymes that are needed to maintain overall health, prevent premature aging and keep tissue supple. For maximum activity and benefits, both tocotrienols and tocopherols are necessary. They perform different functions in the body. For example, tocotrienols slow the activity of a liver enzyme that plays a key role in the synthesis of cholesterol. Gamma tocopherol fights nitrogen radicals that can negatively affect health. While d-alpha tocopherol was once thought to be one of the best antioxidants, alpha tocotrienol has been found to be a more powerful free radical quencher.

BENEFITS

Protects against free radicals.
Supports the circulatory and reproductive systems, as well as the liver.
Maintains normal-range blood viscosity.
Supports glandular health.
Promotes healthy-looking skin.
Helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.

SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT

Research suggests that the benefits of both vitamin E and selenium are enhanced when they are taken together. Delta tocotrienol has been the subject of much research for helping maintain normal-range cholesterol levels and for supporting healthy arteries and blood viscosity. Tocotrienols have also been studied in animals for their support of the immune system relative to cellular abnormalities.

NATURE'S SUNSHINE ADVANTAGE

Tocopherols and tocotrienols are two families of metabolically active compounds that we knowgenerically as vitamin E. Many vitamin E products on the market contain only one or two of these compounds. NSP has added 30 mg tocopherols (alpha, beta, delta and gamma) plus 5 mg mixed tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta and gamma) to provide the complete vitamin E package. Natural vitamin E has twice the biological activity of synthetic vitamin E (“dl”). This product contains tocotrienols from annatto, which is significantly higher in delta tocotrienol than palm, the most common source used.

INGREDIENTS

Each softgel capsule contains 400 IU of vitamin E from soybean oil and 25 mcg selenium.

RECOMMENDED USE

Take 1 capsule daily with a meal.
