30 international units (IU). Over-the-counter synthesized forms as dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (or
succinate) are often 200 international units (or 165 milligrams) or 400 international units (13.3
times the recommended daily allowance), with a dosage of one capsule per day.
Research on the many uses of vitamin E started in 1950 with its use in a topical skin cream
formulation for treating frostbite, and then as antioxidant fighting free radicals and reducing the
risks of heart disease. Vitamin E is unstable when exposed to heat, light, and oxygen, but may
help prevent and fight cancers, protect cell membranes from breaking down, and may play a role
in therapy for Alzheimer's patients. Interestingly, alpha-tocopheryl helps the body effectively use
and store vitamin A and protects B-complex and vitamin C from oxidation reactions. The human
body does not make its own vitamin E, so it must be taken from nutritional sources or as a dietary
supplement. While the acetate form is fat soluble, the succinate compound is water-soluble. As a
crystalline solid, d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate has a melting point of 28 degrees Celsius and a boiling
point of 184 degrees Celsius. Alpha-tocopheryl is only one of a group of the lipid-soluble compounds
known as tocopherols and tocotrienols (or tocols), but it is considered the most biopotent or
powerful. The synthesized version, dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate exists in equal amounts of eight
isomers while the natural extraction from vegetable oils, d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, exists only as
one isomer. Some indications are that the natural version is a better alternative to the synthesized
form of the vitamin for increasing levels in body tissues and extending retention time.

White light is separated into the different colors (=wavelengths) of light by passing it through
a prism. Wavelength is defined as the distance from peak to peak (or trough to trough). The
energy of is inversely porportional to the wavelength: longer wavelengths have less energy than
do shorter ones.
