What it is

Natural Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient found in plant oils, nuts, and seeds. It is typically extracted from vegetable oils like soybean or sunflower oil. It is then purified and concentrated for use as an antioxidant.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add natural Vitamin E to foods to prevent fats and oils from going rancid, which helps maintain freshness and flavor. It is commonly found in products with higher fat content, such as cereals, snack foods like chips and pretzels, and baked goods like cookies.

Health notes

In the US, natural Vitamin E is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an antioxidant. It is an essential nutrient that plays a role in protecting cells from damage. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated Vitamin E, but have not set specific numeric limits for its use in food. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Natural Vitamin E is typically derived from soy or sunflower. If derived from soy, it would be considered a major allergen. Check product labels for specific sourcing.
