Again I don't take any supplements. When it comes to vitamine E, it has the reputation of repairing skin tissues and that's good enough of a reason for me to try a skin moisturizer said to contain vitamin E. My latest skin product is the vitamin E facial moisturizer from Body Shop and I'm already feeling the improvement after using it for about a few months, not to mention it's quite reasonably priced for the quality of the product you get. Maybe I should leave that for a different review, but for now I do have some faith in the benefit of vitamin E from my own experience.

Very affective when taken with vitamin B complex and vitamin C with Bioflavinoids

Vitamin E is good for the heart as well as the skin.  I take 400 IU daily.

Vitamin E SHOULD get a solid, unwavering "5" Star review and this is what I give it...IF it is the right stuff. Unfortunately, it usually isn't and the people who are manufacturing it are banking heavily on the fact that you will be happy with a false sense of well-being, just from taking it.

Sheesh...what a mess. Let me try to sort this out for you. First, most Vitamin E...as well as all other OTC vitamins available to us, are MIC (Made in China)...you know...that country whose slogan is, "If you bought it...we brought it". We can only verify its quality AFTER it hits the market and in every study that I have read, they are sending the absolutely lowest and most useless waste of money...in the name of well-being. So, here's some rules to go by:

First, if it is packed and glued into a tablet (especially into a multivitamin like Fred Flinstone), it is as beneficial to you as sawdust. It should be in a gelcap (oil-based), for starters. Don't buy into the "liquid" vitamins, as they will biodegrade in water and begin to become  inert...even harmful...within weeks on the shelf.

Here's where the wool gets pulled over our eyes because of sheer lack of knowledge: The use of Soy Oil as a source of "E". The truth is that the quality of our food sources have degraded so badly over time, that even that highly touted miracle called soy has enjoyed the status of chemical waste for years now....especially unfermented soy products. To symplify this, you want to look for the words, "unesterfied" and "d-alpha", "d-beta" and "d-gamma" tocopherols. Without these items, the already low-grade soy in the vitamin will turn rancid. Forget about what that means, unless you're interested in looking it up, which basically, is that a good vitamin should aid in the production of our body's energy source...ATP...and should not require very much of it to assimilate the vitamin. If your "E" contains no tocopherols, esterized d-alpha, d-beta, d-delta or d-gamma, or worse, has dl-alpha, dl-beta, dl-delta, or dl-gamma tocopherols, you have just wasted your money and are placing an unnecessary tax on your metabolism . If you can find it, the ultimate E supplement will have "tocotrienol", replacing tocopherols as the antioxidant-delivering substance. 

Lastly, you will NOT get any of this when you buy plain Vitamin E. You have to look for "Vitamin E-Compex", which is no more expensive than plain "E"...a nearly useless product.

Note: I hate reposting long reviews, but I had to correct a pretty big boo-boo...

Antioxidants are an excellent way to improve heart health. Unfortunately there have been some recent studies that show higher doses of Vitamin E (more than 200iu) can have an adverse effect on the heart (this seems to be mostly in those with already existing heart problems). I agree, the d-Alpha source of vitamin E is most useful, as studied.

Make sure you buy Natural Vitamin-E. It will start with d-Alpha and not dl-Alpha. The synthetic Vitamin-E (dl-Alpha) is viewed as fairly ineffective by some studies, which state that the body does not appear to fully absorb and/or utilize it as efficiently as natural Vitamin-E (d-Alpha).

You can't just have your water-soluable anti-oxidants, you need your fat-soluable ones, too! Actually, Vitamin E supplementation is considered one of the more beneficial to take because of the scarcity of naturally ocurring vitamin E in food, irregardless of one's diet.
