Vitamin E is supplied as either a synthetically created molecule or a natural molecule, usually from plant oil. The natural molecule is designated with only one letter (D) rather than two letters (DL) in the Supplement Facts section, and is 50% more bioavailable to your body. In fact, the government now requires that the old rules allowing companies to list 400 IU of Vitamin E must now come clean and list 180 mg of Vitamin E if they use synthetic or 268 mg if they use natural sources.
