Vitamin E Question

[Guest guest]

Natural vit E: alpha " d " tocophorol

Synthesic vit E: alpha " dl " tocophorol

The " l " is tiny and easy to miss. Check the main ingredient on the

bottle for the information. -

I apologize if this has been answered previously, but I have been

trying to find alpha tocopherol & gamma tocopherol Vitamin E for my

dd with SID & I am so confused. The seem to have different

combinations & levels of various tocopherols.

When I do a search for them it seems that the gamma has the alpha in

it too.

Should I give the gamma with the alpha blend only or should I still

add in the alpha as well?

How much do I give my dd who is 45 lbs?

Thank you for your help.

Delta Tocopherol 73.00 mg *

Beta Tocopherol 6.00 mg

You don't really know how much Vit E d-alpha is in this, since it is giving the

value for it along with the nixed natural tocopherols.

Look for something that is 400 IU d-alpha Vit E. Nature Made, which you can

find in drug stores and many grocery stores and is frequently on sale for buy

one/get one free, has a 400 IU d-alpha Vit E, which we use, and also

uses that one. That is all it has--just the 400 IU d-alpha.

You can buy a separate Gamma E, such as the 300 mg., from Jarrow, eg., which is

what uses. Basically, her information would be that you probably

wouldn't want to give less than 300 mg per day of the Gamma. NOW brand makes a

High Gamma, 300 mg, as well--you can check the internet for more. Some people

like to give the E and the Gamma separately. So these are a couple of the

brands that have been mentioned here and that we have used, as well.

Or check out Vitaminworld.com or a Vitamin World store if you have one. They

have a High Gamme Tocopherol which contains 200 IU d-alpha Vit E and 200 mg

Gamma E per capsule. They put this stuff on sale from time to time, and has

alerted us to these sales. So, you give two capsules per day to get a total of

400 IU of the E and 400 mg of the Gamma. brought this one to our

attention, and a lot of us are using this.

Up to 1500 IU d-alpha Vit E is totally safe, according to , so this is

fine for your dd at 45 pounds. Weight and age don't seem to make a difference.

Yes, all the different combinations out there make it really confusing.

So, you might want to start her on 400 IU Vit E, then increase to 800 per day,

then up to 1200 per day, etc., depending on how she does, how much progress you

see. You can start giving the Gamma right away, with the 400 IU Vit E, or you

can wait a bit until you raise it up to 800 IU.

I hope I haven't been too confusing here, and I hope this helps.

I am using a Vitamin E with 450 mg of gamma. I am seeing wonderful

results. I found this company called Yasoo, and apparently they are big

into Vitamin E, its research, etc. All in all, it's a pretty informative

website. I highly recommend visiting the site just to learn what they are

doing. They have even made a Vitamin E in a liquid form!

Here's the website: http://yasoo.com
