Frequently asked questions
-
Natural Vitamin E is labelled D-Alpha Tocopherol. Synthetic is labelled DL-Alpha Tocopherol. Natural D-Alpha is a single isomer the body uses efficiently; the synthetic DL form is a mixture of eight isomers of which only one matches the natural form. Research suggests natural Vitamin E has higher bioavailability and better tissue retention. This product uses 100% natural D-Alpha Tocopherol.
-
Most vegetable oils used in supplements undergo commercial refining and deodorising — processes involving high heat that remove naturally occurring compounds from the oil. Health Leads uses Vitamin E from non-refined, non-deodorised oils, preserving more of the natural tocopherols and compounds present in the original source material.
-
Yes. Vitamin E is fat-soluble and is absorbed alongside dietary fat. Taking it with a meal containing some fat will significantly improve absorption compared to taking it on an empty stomach. A small amount of fat is sufficient.
-
No — not without medical advice. Vitamin E has mild anticoagulant properties and at higher doses may enhance the effect of warfarin and other anticoagulants, increasing bleeding risk. If you are taking any blood-thinning medication or are due to undergo surgery, consult your doctor before use.
-
Each bottle contains 120 capsules. At the suggested use of 1 capsule per day, this provides a 120-day supply.
-
No. This product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians as it contains a gelatin capsule shell derived from bovine collagen.
-
This product does not contain any of the 14 major allergens listed under UK food labelling regulations. It is manufactured in a facility that handles a range of ingredients, so if you have a severe allergy, please contact us before purchasing.

We recommend consulting your GP or midwife before taking any food supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This applies to all supplements, not just this product.
Description
Health Leads Natural Source Vitamin E provides 400 IU (268mg) of natural Vitamin E as D-Alpha Tocopherol in a convenient one-a-day capsule.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It occurs naturally in foods such as nuts, seeds, vegetable oils and wheatgerm and is commonly used as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Unlike many Vitamin E supplements, Health Leads uses Natural Source Vitamin E obtained from non-refined and non-deodorised oils.
Many commercial oils undergo extensive refining, deodorising and high-temperature processing, which can remove naturally occurring compounds found within the original oil. By selecting Natural Source Vitamin E from non-refined and non-deodorised oils, we preserve the natural characteristics of the source material wherever possible.
Each capsule provides:
• Natural Source Vitamin E (D-Alpha Tocopherol) — 400 IU (268mg)
Vitamin E contributes to:
• The protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Other ingredients: Natural vegetable oil and bovine gelatin capsule shell.
No magnesium stearate. No artificial colours. No artificial sweeteners. No unnecessary fillers.
Each pack contains 120 capsules, providing a 120-day supply when taken at the suggested intake of one capsule daily.
