Natures Aid Vitamin E 200iu

Vitamin E was discovered in the 1920s but only now are we appreciating it. It is a fat soluble vitamin composed of eight tocopherols, alpha tocopherol being the most effective. Unlike other fat soluble vitamins, vitamin E is only stored within the body for a relatively short time and therefore a regular supply is advisable.
