Buy Vitamin E – A Fat-Soluble Vitamin in Various Forms

Vitamin E is the collective term for a group of fat-soluble compounds from the class of tocopherols and tocotrienols. As an antioxidant, it is one of the essential vitamins that the body takes in through food. In this category you'll find vitamin E supplements from Scheunengut in different forms and contents – vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Vitamin E occurs naturally above all in plant oils, nuts and seeds. For supplements it is often obtained from plant oils such as sunflower or soybean oil. A distinction is made between the natural form (D-alpha-tocopherol) and synthetically produced vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopherol).

Standardisation & Format

The content is usually given in milligrams of alpha-tocopherol or in international units (IU). Vitamin E is available as a capsule, softgel, oil or powder – as pure alpha-tocopherol or as a tocopherol complex with several tocopherols and tocotrienols. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it is sensibly taken with a meal and often combined with other vitamins.
