We rank Vitamin E by price per 12mg - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
What it is
Vitamin E is a group of fat soluble nutrients known as tocopherols. These act as antioxidants, which are substances that stop cells from being damaged by unstable molecules called free radicals. By doing this, they help protect the membranes that surround and protect the cells in the body.
Why it's used
It is primarily used to reduce oxidative stress in the body. This process helps maintain the health of cell membranes and supports the immune system.
How it's made
Commercial Vitamin E is typically produced by extracting the nutrient from vegetable oils, such as soybean or sunflower oil. The oil is refined and processed to isolate the tocopherols, which are then concentrated into a thick oil or converted into a powder for use in capsules.
What it typically costs
Vitamin E is generally mid range in price. This is because while the raw vegetable oils used for extraction are plentiful, the industrial refining process required to isolate and concentrate the specific tocopherols adds to the production cost.
