Hi and thank you Owen for responding. D-alpha is preferred over
dl-alpha with E. I’ve read that it’s a blood thinner. How can all
that documentation be wrong. Is there new evidence w out there? Can you
share? I want to be careful as I take Brilinta and baby aspirin and
my clotting is delayed for sure now.
What makes Unique E better than other brands like Bronson or Thorne?
Where can I buy it?
Thank you! I would love the research about Vit E not thinning so I can
show my nurse practitioner.
Have a great day and thank you for your sharing!

In vitro studies have suggested that α-tocopherol plays a role in the inhibition of platelet aggregation. However, further investigations into the effect of α-tocopherol on bleeding in vivo have not duplicated these findings.
We had heard the rumor that vitamin E acts as a "blood thinner" and I believe that most surgeons take their patients off vitamin E for this supposed reason. However, as the study above shows, vitamin E does not (by itself) affect INR readings. We learned this long ago when my late brother, a former cardiovascular patient, was on a real blood thinner and was warned about vitamin E. He was unable to change his blood INR with vitamin E.
Unique-E's advantage is a manufacturing process that makes the product unlikely to go rancid. One source is LEF.ORG.
