Nature Made Vitamin D 400IU, Chewable Orange Flavor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are several problems with this vitamin E:
1) Its synthetic. Synthetic vitamin E is problematic because the vitamin E molecule has 3 chiral centers. So only 1/2^3, or 1/8 of the material is identical to naturally occuring vitamin E. The other 7 forms have never been studied and may be toxic. Studies performed with synthetic E have shown toxic and damaging effects.
2) Its only alpha tocopherol. There are 3 other tocopherols and 4 other tocotrienols that are in the vitamin E family. The gamma tocopherol form seems to be especaillay important. Taking large doses of the alpha form depletes gamma tocopherol levels.
3) Its esterified (the succinate form I think), which means that its not really an antioxidant. The esterification process removes the reducing capacity of vitamin E.
the bottom line is that this product is junk and probably damaging to your health. The people that say that synthetic E is the same as natural vitamin E dont know what they are talking about. Stereochemistry and chirality are extremely important in biochemistry. For example, amino acids are always in the "L" form, the "D" stereoisomers of some amino acids can be deadly. This product is mostly (about 85%) a collection of random stereoisomers of vitamin E that do not occur naturally. It ought to be illegal to sell this stuff, really.
