E-400 IU Pure dI-Alpha Softgels, 120 Count

I have been using this product for years because it meets my expectations.

I have been using Nature's Bounty for years. This is a good value

I ordered this because it's the pure D-alpha "real" vitamin E. I just received it day before yesterday so this is a first-impression review but so far I'm satisfied. I got it to mix with Tea Tree Oil to make a solution that I use in my facial cleanser (1 part vitamin E to 3 parts tea tree oil). The vitamin E helps with a bit of the harshness of the tea tree oil, which can be drying. Puncturing the capsules is a bit annoying but I like that I now have the option to try it as a supplement now as well as use it topically. The easiest way I've found to get the oil out is to just use a sharp knife and stab gently but firmly into an end of the capsule along the seam, that's the least-messy way I've found and you can then squeeze the oil out fairly easily. As a bonus, you almost can't avoid getting a little on your hands when you're squeezing the oil out and this stuff feels SO good. I think I'll start using it on it's own as well for an occasional hand treatment, it feels even better than my shea butter. Followup: I've been using this for almost two weeks now, I can offer a little more insight: First, as some other reviews have mentioned it's better to use this mixed with a different oil if you're using it topically. Jojoba is a good one, as it closely mirrors your skin's natural sebum and helps with absorption of the vitamin E. Second, I've been using it as a supplement daily with my fish oil and I think I'm noticing a bit of a general improvement in wellbeing, with this sort of thing it's very hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing you to feel generally "up" or "down", but in this instance it coincides with having been taking this vitamin E as a supplement since I received it. If I run out and forget to reorder in time (which I do a lot) I'll see if I notice a difference while waiting for the new bottle to get in.

Excelente de muy buena calidad, y llegó tal cual la imagen, me encantó

I've been ordering this product for the past year. It is a natural form of vitamin e and they've always been fresh. I started getting these for my dogs, which get a home-made diet. I also squeeze 1 capsule into extra-virgin olive oil when I open it, which helps keep it from going rancid as quickly. Then, I accidentally discovered that vitamin e eliminated my ovulation pain/cramping (this started in my forties). I was surprised that I hadn't heard about using vitamin e for this before, but after researching this (Google "vitamin e cramping") I found that there are several studies that say vitamin e may reduce cramping. For PMS related symptoms, I recommend taking this along with Evening Primrose Oil, which I've also found very helpful. The reason that I rated this as four stars is that recent studies are recommending taking 80 mg of the whole complex, including mixed tocopherols and mixed tocotrienols. It should provide at least 10 mg of tocotrienols. If you can't find that, look for a product with mixed natural tocopherols (400 to 800 IU daily). Avoid dl-alpha-tocopherol, the synthetic form. This product is the natural form, but it only includes part of the overall vitamin e complex.

I like that the bottle is easy to open and the soft gels are easy to swallow. I use them for losing or maintaining my weight, mainly. I have a huge sweet tooth, and Vitamin E has a high metabolism. Not quite as high as Vitamin B-Complex, but definitely useful. So at the end of the day, I review what I've eaten and decide whether I should take a couple of Vit. E soft gels or make up for a sugar face dump and have both one of those and Vitamin B-Complex.

Love this product
