Vitamin E is essential to life.Since its discovery, Vitamin E has gainedthe interest of scientists and health professionals worldwide. Fifty years of medical research has shown it is one ofthe most active antioxidant nutrients,with many proven health benefits.
Because of its health benefits, many people are choosing to takea high quality natural vitamin E supplement. The amounts ofvitamin E shown to be effective within clinical studies are notreadily obtainable, even from a well-balanced diet. Additionally,this important nutrient cannot be manufactured by the body.
Carlson Laboratories has over the last 45 years, been proud tooffer to consumers the world’s most complete line of all-natural vitamin E products. You can trust that Carlson vitamin E is thehighest quality vitamin E available for your health needs.

How Vitamin E Helps Protect Your Health:
Vitamin E works together with other antioxidant nutrients to provide your body with protection from excess free radicals.Free radicals oxidize healthy cells in much the same way that airturns fish rancid, fruit rotten and iron rust. Air pollution, tobaccosmoke, strenuous exercise, certain illnesses and medicatons pro-duce excess free radicals as a by-product of human metabolism.

Scientists believe that excess freeradicals are a major health risk forpeople of any age. Powerful antiox-idants like vitamin E neutralizethese highly reactive molecules,which can damage your body’scells. As nature’s antioxidant, vita-min E leads the way in blockingexcess free radical formation.

Research scientist Maret Traber’s work indicates that the liver preferentially recycles the natural form of vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol),
causing the excretion of synthetic forms and other tocopherols.
NATURAL VITAMIN E . . . MORE IN THE BODY CELLS:
Dr. Graham Burton, associated with the National Research Council of Canada,studied the body’s response to Natural Vitamin E compared to SyntheticVitamin E. This study strongly indicates the body prefers Natural Vitamin Eto Synthetic Vitamin E. Here are some of the results:
5.3 times more Natural Vitamin Ewas found in the Brain thanSynthetic Vitamin E and:
3.6 times more in Red Blood Cells
2.6 times more in the Lungs
2.4 times more in the Plasma
1.9 times more in the Heart

THE RECOMMENDED VITAMIN E CARRIES THEBEST GUARANTEE:
Physicians and health-care professionals recommend Carlson Vitamin Eknowing that their patients will be receiving only the highest quality of100% Natural Vitamin E with the full potency guaranteed on the label.
The medical staff of the Shute Medical Clinic of Canada, internationally recognized for their research and clinical applications with Vitamin E, havesingled out Carlson Vitamin E products as the brand they highly recommend.
Only through our dedication to the highest standards of excellence havewe retained these valued recommendations.
TESTED QUALITYAt Carlson Laboratories, we not only promise quality, we GUARANTEE IT.Since our beginning, every batch of Vitamin E product has beenassayed (tested) for potency and source by an independ-ent testing firm, which is registered with the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as following Good LaboratoryPractices. Copies of individual assayreports, as shown at the right, may beobtained upon request.

This published study measured the proportion of Natural andSynthetic Vitamin E in variousorgans, tissues and fluids of experi-mental animals given equal doses ofboth types of Vitamin E. The pref-erence was then confirmed by meas-urement of Vitamin E in blood andplasma from human subjects. Thisstudy was based on equal milligramamounts, not IU amounts, whichtries to correct for some of the differences observed.

Vitamin E is ESSENTIAL to life. We can not survive without it.
Several prominent researchers believe that to perform at its best, the human body needs more than the U.S. Daily Value (DV) of 30 IU Vitamin Edaily. The average American diet supplies considerably less thanthis amount.
Dr. Evan Shute, a Canadian physician internationally recognized for his 30 yearsof work with Vitamin E, stated, “We think that the average normal female shouldhave 400 IU a day and the average normal male about 600 IU a day.”
Vitamin E should be taken at mealtime. Dr. G. E. Desaulniers of theShute Medical Clinic has shown that Vitamin E is absorbed better when taken with meals rather than on an empty stomach.
Inorganic IRON can destroy VITAMIN E. The Shute Institute wasthe first to discover and announce that inorganic iron, as ferroussulfate, can be destructive to the Vitamin E when the two are taken
together. They suggest that when inorganic iron and Vitamin E are taken, theyshould be separated in the stomach by an interval of 8 to 9 hours.
Organic iron, however, such as that found in raisins, spinach and other iron-richfoods, can be taken at the same time as Vitamin E, with no harm to the Vitamin E. Moderate amounts of certain organic iron supplements, such as ironamino acid chelate, can also be taken with Vitamin E.
NATURAL VITAMIN E is stated as:
• rrr-alpha tocopherol • d-alpha tocopherol
• d-alpha tocopheryl acetate • d-alpha tocopheryl succinate
SYNTHETIC VITAMIN E is stated as:
• all-rac alpha tocopherol • dl-alpha tocopherol
• dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate • dl-alpha tocopheryl succinate

Some firms mix 10% NaturalVitamin E with 90% SyntheticVitamin E and call their product
NATURAL VITAMIN E without declaringthe synthetic portion. The U.S. Food andDrug Administration (FDA) has yet to act to stop this misleading labeling.
To be sure your Vitamin E is 100%Natural Vitamin E and not a blend containing mostly synthetic Vitamin E,choose only products that print the following on each bottle label:
Two biologically active, preferred forms of Vitamin E are:
d-alpha tocopheryl acetate andd-alpha tocopheryl succinate
Acetate and Succinate are important organic molecules within our bodies andare involved in numerous biochemical reactions. For example, acetate is animportant part of acetylcholine, the neural transmitter required by every nervecell in our bodies to transmit impulses. Moreover, acetate and succinate arefound in energy producing reactions in every cell. Acetate is another name forvinegar, and succinate is 2 acetic acid molecules attached together.
Because these two forms change to alpha tocopherol during the digestiveprocess, they are active antioxidants.
All forms of Natural Vitamin E become active antioxidants (free radical fighters) inside our bodies.
The ALPHA form of tocopherol is considered Vitamin E. Beta, Gamma and Delta tocopherols, often called mixed tocopherols,have less Vitamin E activity in the human body. Alpha and mixed
tocopherols are present in substantial amounts in Carlson E-GEMS PLUS. E-Gems Elite contains alpha and mixed tocopherols, with the relatedtocotrienols.
Natural Vitamin E penetrates the skin and is of benefit to someskin conditions. It can help keep your skin looking young.

Over 40 years ago, the Carlson family was intro-duced to Vitamin E through Dr. Evan Shute of theShute Institute in Canada. The results weobserved when using Vitamin E were exceptional,yet we noticed even at that early stage there weresignificant differences obtained when using natu-ral Vitamin E as compared to synthetic Vitamin E.We also experienced differences between theforms and brands of Vitamin E. When CarlsonLaboratories became a reality, we were deter-mined to offer only the highest quality Vitamin E,which would consistently provide good results.We were convinced then, as now, that naturalVitamin E is superior to synthetic, so ALL CarlsonVitamin E supplements, since our beginning, havebeen only 100% Natural-Source Vitamin E.
Medical research continues to help us gain further understanding of the actions ofVitamin E in the body. Professional journals worldwide now report on hundredsof studies done each year with Vitamin E.
For example, a study by Dr. Graham Burton, associated with the National ResearchCouncil of Canada, showed that Natural Vitamin E is preferred over Synthetic:
A study by Dr. Ed Desaulniers of the Shute Medical Clinic shows Vitamin E isabsorbed by the body much better when taken at mealtime rather than on anempty stomach.
Several other studies show that Vitamin E is an important antioxidant nutrient in protecting our body cells from harmful substances called free radicals. Excessivefree radicals can come from various sources including air pollution, cigarette smoke,radiation, strenuous exercise, and even the body’s metabolic processes.
Prominent studies printed in medical journals show Vitamin E plays an important nutritional role in maintaining normal heart health. Medical groups,who previously advised against Vitamin E supplementation, have now reversedtheir stand, such as authors of the Johns Hopkins Medical Letter.
At Carlson Laboratories, we remain dedicated to Natural Vitamin E and to staying current with new developments. We specialize in ONLY 100% NATURAL-SOURCE VITAMIN E and that is the way it has been since our beginning.
