Vitamin E

Support healthy immune system function and promote cell health with the selection of vitamin E supplements available at The Vitamin Shoppe.

Vitamin E helps protect cells from free radicals, boosts the immune system, and supports red blood cell production. While it occurs naturally in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, spinach, and broccoli, sometimes you need a little extra boost to supplement your diet. Luckily, The Vitamin Shoppe is here to deliver with numerous forms of vitamin E available. Browse our selection to find the form, potency, and formula to meet your needs.

Is Vitamin E?

As a fat-soluble vitamin that supports your immune system, vitamin E plays an important role in your health. Vitamin E also functions as an antioxidant, promoting health on a cellular level by attacking free radicals and supporting the structure and function of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells.

When to Take Vitamin E

If you don't get enough of this important vitamin from your diet alone or you have a vitamin E deficiency, taking vitamin E supplements can help fill in the nutritional gaps. Vitamin E works best when taken on a regular basis, providing your body with a steady supply so you can reap more benefits.

Understanding Vitamin E Dosage

Although there may be a slight variation based on age, an adult should have about 15 mg (22.5 IU) of vitamin E per day. Small children can take up to 6 mg (4 IU) per day, while larger children can generally handle up to 11 mg (16.5 IU).

Many of the vitamin E capsules, softgels, and other supplements we carry contain more than the daily value to help you get a potent boost of the supplement. Talk to your doctor to determine the right dosage and potency that's best for you.

Which Form of Vitamin E to Take

Vitamin E actually has eight different chemical compounds, including:

• Alpha-tocopherol
• Beta-tocopherol
• Gamma-tocopherol
• Delta-tocopherol
• Alpha-tocotrienol
• Beta-tocotrienol
• Gamma-tocotrienol
• Delta-tocotrienol

While alpha-tocopherol offers the most benefits for humans, the other forms can offer additional health support. Many supplements carry multiple forms of vitamin E to offer a wider range of benefits.
