Overcoming Vitamin E Malabsorption: The Aqua-E Advantage

Aqua-E supplies the complete vitamin E family of tocopherols plus tocotrienols in a patented water-soluble formulation that overcomes malabsorption. It is particularly rich in the natural unesterified gamma tocopherol and tocotrienols, which are of particular interest to malabsorbers because of the increased oxidative stress. Each teaspoon (5 ml) supplies 100 IU plus 59 mg of gamma tocopherol for a total of 150 mg of total tocopherols. In addition, it supplies 9 mg of tocotrienols.

This proprietary formulation contains lipoprotein like microspheres which function in the same manner as micelles. In addition, after passing the gut wall these lipoproteins like micro spheres may help deliver vitamin E to the tissues even in the absence of a healthy lipoprotein transport system (for example in abetalipoproteinemia).

Aqua-E is odorless and has neutral taste. It mixes easily with most beverages and water. Dosing may be easily adjusted to meet specific needs. It is particularly suitable for people that have difficulty swallowing capsules and for vegetarians.
