Local Wal-Mart was out of regular Vit E so husband brought home a bottle of Ester – E 400 IU, is this okay to use?

Thanks,

Look ok to me. Found this:

There are several different brands of Ester-E, but the supplement is typically created by a natural process to ensure that you are getting the most pure form of Vitamin E on the market. The main manufacturer of Ester-E is a company called Zila Nutraceuticals, the same company that brought us Ester-C. According to their documentation, Ester-E is formed, “when natural d-alpha tocopherol is joined to a phosphate molecule during an exclusive, patented-protected process. The antioxidant potential of vitamin E is protected during absorption, transport and storage in the body to ensure delivery of the nutritional benefits of this essential nutrient when needed.”

To put this into plain English, this particular form of Vitamin E is processed in such a way that more of the natural benefits of the supplement are preserved. The typical recommended dosage of any Vitamin E supplement ranges from 100 to 1000 IU’s, or International Units. It is not a good idea to exceed this recommended dosage, since serious side effects may occur. According to several different studies, extreme amounts of Vitamin E have been linked with an early death.
