Ingredients explained
Vitamin E (as d-Alpha Tocopherol from Mixed Tocopherols)
Vitamin E functions as a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes and lipids from oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals.
Caution: High-dose vitamin E may increase bleeding tendency, especially if taken with anticoagulants, because it can influence platelet aggregation.
Mixed Tocopherols (source of alpha, gamma, and other tocopherols)
Mixed tocopherols provide a broader spectrum of fat-soluble antioxidant activity in lipids, with gamma-tocopherol additionally modulating reactive nitrogen species and oxidative by-products.
Caution: Those sensitive to high-fat supplements may prefer taking with food to reduce digestive discomfort.
How they work together
Alpha-tocopherol supplies core vitamin E activity in tissues, while other tocopherols like gamma-tocopherol address additional reactive species and lipid by-products. Together they broaden antioxidant coverage across lipid environments for more comprehensive protection.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If pregnant, consult a healthcare practitioner before use.
Who should be cautious: People taking anticoagulants or with bleeding concerns may need caution with high-dose vitamin E. Consult a healthcare provider if you have a planned surgery or a bleeding disorder.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.

Overview
- Mixed Tocopherols
- Dietary Supplement
- Foundational
- Heart/Vessels
Ultimate E contains a mixture of all tocopherols and utilizes molecular distillation to remove allergenic soy residues. Vitamin E is a vital antioxidant, and has been shown to benefit the cardiovascular system.
Thorne's Ultimate-E contains mixed tocopherols and provides vital antioxidant activity in fat-soluble tissues. Numerous clinical studies have shown vitamin E is beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Ultimate-E, with its naturally occurring ratio of tocopherols, is an efficient way to supplement vitamin E – without the addition of soy oil as a filler. And recent studies looking at mixed tocopherols indicate they have a stronger inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation than alpha-tocopherol alone, indicating a more potent antioxidant effect. Thorne's vitamin E ingredient is extracted from a mixture of vegetable oils, including soy oil. However, any potentially allergenic soy residue is removed during the distillation process, and Ultimate-E is not diluted with soy oil.
Tocopherols provide protection from free radicals and other by-products of oxygenation, including lipid peroxides and singlet oxygen radicals. Gamma-tocopherol inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, whereas alpha-tocopherol does not appear to have a significant effect on this enzyme. Human studies comparing diets supplemented with gamma- and alpha-tocopherols, to diets supplemented primarily with only alpha-tocopherol, found more DNA protection in the mixed-tocopherol group than the alpha-tocopherol group. Because the tocopherols in Ultimate-E come from a natural source, the tocopherol profile can vary slightly from batch to batch, although extra alpha-tocopherol is added to each batch that is manufactured to standardize the amount of this important tocopherol to 500 IU per gel cap.
