It's worth noting that it's best to get your vitamin E from pumpkins, avocados, olives, and other foods that are naturally abundant in it. Synthetic vitamin E found in most supplements is an entirely different beast and is best avoided.

Natural vitamin E is essential for healthy blood circulation, protection against free radicals, and proper utilization of oxygen.

Other foods that are rich in natural vitamin E include cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil, raw almonds, carrots, butter, and all dark green leafy vegetables.
