Is Your Vitamin E Causing You More Harm than Good?

[Guest guest]

Is Your Vitamin E Causing You More Harm than Good? - Vitamin E is indispensable to your body's antioxidant system, but almost all vitamin E supplements today are synthetic forms that may cause more harm than good. It's nearly impossible to find a natural source vitamin E that contains the essential mixed tocopherols plus tocotrienols -- but I've finally found one that offers both!

It's very easy. Go to WalMart and their Vitamin aisle. Look under E for Vit E. Notice that they sell 2 types, one artificial and one natural. It is mixed toco and even says that has NO "genetically modified" oil or other components.

Natural-spectrum tocopherols and tocotrienols occur at decent levels

in stabilized rice bran, which is a nutrient-dense superfood in

adition to containing high levels of antioxidants.

 

The most potent proanthocyanidins, related to pine bark extract's

pycnogenol and grape seed extract, occur in grapes grown on Mt. St.

Helens. Protovin, the tradenamed concentrate, is now complemented by

Omega Biotech's offering of the more balanced Omegavin and Omage skin

cream, both of which contain Protovin.

Also, if you're not sure about the quality at WalMart, try NOW, a large manufacturer/distributor of supplements. They have a product called Advanced GAMMA E COMPLEX (mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols). IHerb, a large vitamin supplements outfit, carries this product. iherb.com

Carol,When I was studying for my degrees in nutrition, I studied some of Royal Lee's work (considered to be one of the greatest nutritionist ever). He did studies on vitamins. He wrote a thesis titled, "Synthetic Vitamins Versus Natural Vitamins". He basically said that using synthetic vitamins is a mistake and that using them will cause health problems. He also said that using isolated vitamins creates an unbalanced condition in the body and causes stress. I have found in my work evidence that shows me that he was correct. I never use vitamin / mineral supplements in my work and I have had great success in improving peoples health. All nutrients should come from proper diet. I have to tip my hat to you. I interpret your statements to be saying that isolated vitamins are a mistake and shouldn't be used. Am I understanding correctly.Jerry Andersonbluegreensolutions <bluegreensolutions wrote: But even if you get a "natural" one, it's still made with isolated ingredients - that's not natural at all.

It's a noble quest, but something I can't attain to. I take many synthetic Vitamins: esp B vitamins and Vit D and Vit K. I find the B complex restore my skin and give it a pleasing youthful appearance. The vit B6 affects me in helping me visualize, and "dream in color". Also I take synthetic Vit A, though have not noticed an effect from it.

Jerry, yes you interpreted what I wrote correctly. Like you, I also

do not take any isolated supplements. I get all my nutrition from

whole foods, the way nature intended. Man cannot duplicate in a

laboratory what is found in nature, no matter how hard he tries. How

can you make a vitamin/mineral pill, to supposedly give people what

they need, when there's probably still vitamin/minerals out there yet

to be discovered? Vitamin E for instance was discovered somewhere

around the 1920's - but it was important for health even BEFORE that.

So where did those people in 1915 get their Vitamin E from? Probably

food.

I never use vitamin / mineral supplements in my work and I have had

great success in improving peoples health. All nutrients should come

from proper diet. I have to tip my hat to you. I interpret your

statements to be saying that isolated vitamins are a mistake and

shouldn't be used. Am I understanding correctly.

Getting vitamins from food would be the optimum way. But the fact is that even organic produce has nowhere near th amount of vitamins and minerals that it did 50 years ago and beyond that time. There was a statisitc I'd once read about 15-20 years ago that the average head of spinach had 1/10 the amount of nutrition that the same did in 1945. I do think that we have to be very careful about what we do take as far as supplements and once again I add my own personal choice and goal would be to take no supplements and rely as much as I can on food, water and sunshine. But I think many of us on this list are here because we or someone we love may be in poor health. So having to seek other methods of greater nutrition is vital.
