Vitamin E isn’t a single nutrient. It’s a term used to describe a group of compounds with similar properties. Vitamin E compounds are broken down into tocopherols and tocotrienols. Maybe you’ve head of alpha-tocopherol. It’s one form of vitamin E. But there are 7 more found in nature that our bodies benefit from. These are beta, gamma, and delta tocopherol as well as alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocotrienols. For simplicity’s sake, we will refer to this family of compounds as vitamin E.

Vitamin E is made by plants and are often (but not always) found in fatty foods. This is helpful to humans because vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient. This means vitamin E must be eaten with fat in order for it to be absorbed. It also means that vitamin E can be stored in your fat tissue for use when needed.
