Wheat germ oil 1 tbsp (which is a measure of volume) provides 20.3 mg (which is a measure of weight) vitamin E – more than the recommended daily allowance of 15 mg of vitamin E.
Solgar wheat germ oil capsules each contain 1130mg of wheat germ oil.
1 tbsp wheat germ oil contains 20.3 mg vitamin E
Natural vitamin E is a family of eight different compounds: four tocopherols and four tocotrienol. Tocopherols: alpha beta gamma and delta; tocotrienol: alpha beta gamma and delta.
Synthetic vitamin E supplement, only one of the eight compounds is available (alpha-tocopherol). If high levels of alpha-tocopherol flood your system, they can potentially deplete the other tocopherols and tocotrienols from your body.
The way to tell is synthetic is most-often listed with a "dl" (dl-alpha-tocopherol), while non-synthetic uses a "d" (d-alpha-tocopherol).
Keeps alpha-tocopherol dosage low – Due to potential risk factors and to avoid depletion of the other tocopherols and tocotrienols in the formula, my preference is for a daily serving size of less than 300 IU for alpha-tocopherol.
Even so-called 'natural' forms of supplements may not be all they're cracked up to be if they contain ingredients like soy. The majority of soy grown in the US is genetically engineered. As a result, it contains the potent herbicide glyphosate. Whether it is organically grown or not, soy also contains a number of compounds that can wreak havoc with your health.
