Hi 1Rarebird,
When selecting a vit. e supplement, you should choose one which contains other tocopherols and tocotrienols, not just aplpha- tocopherol. Commercial alpha- tocopherol acctate supplement fail to reduce the incidence of breast cancer and help with hot flashes.
It is the tocotrienols one of the 8 members of the Vit. E family which have demonstrated the most siginigicant
potential. Check with the health store you purchase your Vit. E....Also you should be taking your vit. e with a meal for best absorption.

Try to eat foods rich in Vit.E which is your best source.
Chickpeas, corn,Nuts, Wheat germ, which all offer a good combination of tocopherols plus tocotrienols. The natural form is always best.

While Vit. E is believed to prevent certain cancers you should also be careful not to over dose on vit. e
