I think I have the right stuff. It says 400 IU High Gamma E. On the label it

says

" Vitamin E (as d-Alpha Tocopherol) 400 I.U.

Other mixed Tocopherols 80 mg

Gamma Tocopherol 60 mg

Delta & Beta Tocopherols 20 mg "

Does that sound right?

Actually that sounds fine. The High gamma threw me off...usually

those are gamma preparations with a little alpha thrown in.

I got to the store and was confused by the words alpha, gamma, beta

and even Delta listed on the label!

I bought Nature's Bounty Water Soluble E 400IU with dl-Alpha and

Natural d-Alpha at Albertson's.

On the back it reads:

Vitamin E 400IU (as dl-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate and d-Alpha

Tocopheryl plus d-beta, d-gamma, and d-Delta Tocopherols)

It also has Chlorophyllin 0.025mg

This is what the pharmacist recommended after I told him I was

looking for Vitamin E with 400IU of alpha and I needed 200-300mg

gamma.

You bought the synthetic type of E since it says " dl " alpha which is

the wrong one -you want the " d " alpha which is the natural one. See

if you can return it -I returned mine when I bought the wrong one

(to Target...OK so it wasn't some fancy health food store which why

it wasn't natural...but they did take it back!)

Buy it next time at a health food store and ask someone that works

in the store to help you if you are confused. They are used to

confused people in health food stores and most of the time they look

happy to help since they just sit around waiting for confused people

to come in. I went to Vitamin World and had three people ask me if

I needed any help! Don't know if they work on commission or what -

but it was great service!

You can get an alpha gamma blend...just again make sure it's natural

and not synthetic.

What I got

'100% natural High Gamma Tocopherol " from Vitamin World in our

mall -and yes that contains the d alph vitamin E too. The one I had

(the only gamma vitamin world carried) is 200 IU of vitamin E alpha

and 200 mg of the gamma. I give Tanner 2 a day right now. "

http://www.vitaminworld.com/pages/Categories.asp?xs= & CID=69

(scroll down -there are other Es on the page)

On the site and at the mall it's buy one get one 1/2 price -so I got

two of the larger bottles -it's the best value. The dosage of this

brand is low -which is why I give Tanner the two.

(not that you have to get this one...just an example)

Best!

Today is the last day of Buy One Get One Free on High Gamma

Thank you for clearing up the dl- versus d on synthetics!
