 Hide the kids, these are toxic!...*sigh* Sep 30, 2011
By eCognition
This is an excellent price for vitamin E, and the gelcaps are easy to swallow. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better bargain. I also use them to treat puncture sites for my mobile blood-drawing business. I keep them in the bottle they came in, as placing them in my vitamin containers changes the texture of the gelcaps. Not sure if this has a detrimental effect or not, but I just decided to go with the recommendation to keep them in the bottle.
The dl-alpha form has a lower tolerable upper intake level of 1000, while the natural form has a tolerable upper intake level of 1500. So, if you're gauging how much Vitamin E you should take, using the upper level for natural E for the dl-alpha form will put you at 1.5 times the amount you should be taking, which would be considered "toxic". Could you please look at the label for this product, "K"? I see 400 IU, which is less than 2 1/2 times the upper intake limit (I'm sorry, "toxic") limit for vitamin E, even when using synthetic E as our reference. And the serving size for this product is 1 softgel. So, you'd have to take 3 gel caps to even get into the beginning range of what could be considered unsafe for these supplements. In other words, I think reviewers should do their homework before they go sounding the alarm for a specific product, especially since there are people behind these products, if you know what I mean.
Anyone questioning this dl vs. d analysis of the two forms can view the Vitamin E Meta-analysis in Annals of internal medicine, and then head on over to the Council on Responsible Nutrition for a critical view countering this report. In either report, however, you'll find out just how safe you are taking these supplements. Get you supplement on!

 Confirming "Kathy with a K" Mar 13, 2011
By Eric DZ
After reading Kathy's comment I researched this product. It was verified that this particular formula of Vitamin E is not that great, did not say toxic, but did say it was synthetic and there are much better choices on the market, exactly as Kathy mentioned. The supplier may have done their part in shipping; but, if the product is inferior, shipping is irrelavent. Thanks Kathy!

 Love my health. Jul 09, 2011
By shakka
I ordered these vitamins while stationed in Afghanistan. Not sure if vitamin brands are really any different than the next one, personally i do believe their all the same. However when i received them in the mail all the vitamins were stuck together inside the container. Which i suppose is to be expected considering the high temperatures they probably experienced during transit to the middle east. However i have a few colleagues who ordered different brands that came in a little better container and they received their products in perfect condition. I was able to separate the majority of the vitamins in the container and it really wasn't a problem. Other than that i have no complaints with this product and take them regularly.
KIRKLAND ie: COSTCO 400 IU VITAMIN E Apr 14, 2012
By A. Henrich
"DOWN 25%"
At the recommenedation of my MD I have been using this product for 11 years. When he advised me to take vitamin E and I asked for a brand recommendation he said he uses this product. Good enough for me. I just bought them at my local Costco in Tempe AZ for $7.79 + tax, regular price is $10.79. They have a $3.00 instant rebate this month, as they do 2 or 3 times per year. The expiration date is DEC 1215. I buy a years supply for me and my wife, and store them in a cool, dry pantry; never in the fridge. We usually travel to S.E. Asia once per year. (Think hot jungle: 80+ % humidity.) I take my supply in a smaller medicine bottle and keep sealed. I have never had a "sticking problem" in 11 years doing this. My wife likes the "soft gel" as they are easier for her to swallow. If you live near a costco you can save money. I just checked their website and after the $3 discount the price is $10.29. (shipping and handling included.)
