very high rate of absorption into the bloodstream, whereas
pills taken separately with the same food have
inconsistent effects, and taking the supplements alone is
largely useless. ETC I just wonder how many previous
studies in volved people swallowing a pill with a glass of
water. JOhn

A good question. I'm making sure to always take my Vitamin E
with something fatty like meat, yogurt, cheese, bread with
butter, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if a significant
majority of the population haven't any idea that Vitamin E
needs fat for absorption. Why don't they include it in the
Vitamin E caplet to begin with, say, with some fish oil?

Most of the vitamin E I have seen is in oil form.

A variety of options would likely improve vitamin E uptake
from supplements. First as mentioned the simple act of
taking the supplement with the fattest meal of the day. or
taking it with a tablespoon of lecithin would help. Water
dispersable forms would improve uptake. I recently ran
across an article in a nutrition journal about vitamin A
supplements that has application in this situation. It was
entitled "Water-miscible, emulsified, and solid forms of
retinol supplements are more toxic than oil-based
preparations." You can tell the extreme bias of these
authors (IMO) as the paper should have been entitled "Water-
miscible, emulsified, and solid forms of retinol have such
greatly increased absorption such that hypervitaminosis is a
risk without dose reductions to compensate." Apparently, the
absorption is increased 10 fold when that fat soluble
vitamin as water-miscible and emulsified supplement. AJCN
Vol. 78, No. 6, 1152-1159, Dec 2003

This lesson should apply to other fat soluble vitamins.

Do you mean with fat? Which fat in particular is used
with the Vitamin E?

-Chad

I have no idea.

They seem to make it from wheatgerm oil.
