What source/where does Vitamin E Come from?
Where does Vitamin E Come from? A Vegtable, A Fruit any help much appreciated. Thanks
Answer:
Wheat Germ is the through source of Vitamin E, it is also present naturally contained by nuts and seeds.
I meditate Vitamin E can come from fish oil. They own fish oil pills next to Vitamin E in them I imagine it's E, it might be some other letter but I'm pretty sure it's E.
Natural vitamin E exists surrounded by eight different forms or isomers, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. All isomers have a chromanol ring, beside a hydroxyl group which can donate a hydrogen atom to reduce free radical and a hydrophobic side chain which allows for infiltration into biological membranes. There is an alpha, beta, gamma and delta form of both the tocopherols and tocotrienols, determined by the number of methyl groups on the chromanol ring. Each form has its own biological movement, the measure of potency or functional use contained by the body.
wheat germ oil, almonds, sunflower seed, sunflower oil, safflower grease, hazelnuts, soybeans - and small amounts in apples, turnips, sweet potatoe and brocolli.
The RDA is 10 MG a morning which you can get from 1/2 tablespoon of wheat germ grease or a little over 1 oz of almonds.
Vitamin E is chubby soluable - it is stored in the butter tissues so you can kind of store it up for a while and your body will draw on the stores if you can't gain the vitamin through food sources.
