It's impossible to compare every available vitamin E supplement here, and I have not included supplements which combine vitamin E with other vitamins or minerals. Even though Costco's Kirkland brand is the lowest priced, there is some disagreement on how well glycerin-based softgels are absorbed. Oil-based synthetic ( dl-) capsules, or synthetic powder with added fat may be adequate for many horses. Next in line are Uckele's liquid E and Elevate Powder from KER. The natural vitamin E cost leaders include the oil-based softgels from Swanson and Puritan and Stuart Products' Emcelle Tocopherol. Powdered forms of vitamin E and glycerin based softgels which do not contain oil do require the addition of oil for absorption, while soft-gels already containing oil do not need additional oil added.Īs cost is often a consideration, the products below are shown from low to high according to the cost of providing 2,000 IU of vitamin E. The micellized and water dispersible products, which include Nano-E, Elevate W.S and Emcelle Tocopherol do not require added fat in the form of oil to be absorbed from the digestive tract. (For example, mixed tocopherols from soy sources normally contain approimately 15% alpha-tocopherol and the remaining 85% is from primarily gamma, delta, and beta-tocopherols.)
PC is micellized into extremely small droplets that are easily absorbed into the bloodstream, and the liposomal formulation has the ability to deliver this compound directly to the cell membrane. Christopher Shade, Ph.D., has dramatically enhanced absorption of PC via the micellized liposomal formulation. It is a building block for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter associated with attention and alertness.*ĭr. In addition, the choline in PC is important for neurocognitive health. PC is also an emulsifier necessary for fat and cholesterol metabolism and liver detoxification. In its utter simplicity, PC helps replenish the cell membrane and thus may benefit health.
An intact, functional membrane is essential to cellular health.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the primary lipid that composes and nourishes the cell membranes in your body-including the membranes of your energy-producing mitochondria, the renewable ‘batteries’ inside every cell. Phosphatidylcholine-the primary lipid composing all cell membranes-is the simplest and most direct answer to replenishing and restoring cell membranes.* When cell membranes are damaged, the cell cannot perform properly. Each 5 mL of Micellized Pure PC® delivers 700mg of phosphatidylcholine.
