Dear Doctor, Tell me more about 4Spectrum Vitamin E

Q: Why is your Vitamin E so much more expensive than the others?

A: The added expense comes in the extra processing. In order to process out more of the soy estrogen this Vitamin E product goes through the cold press and de-estrification process more times which increases the cost to the manufacturer. That extra cost unfortunately gets passed through the product to the consumer in higher prices. Keep in mind that most Vitamin E products on the market not only contain more than 20% estrogen but the manufacturer then adds vegetable oil (also known as soybean oil) to the mixture to help 'fill-up' the capsule. That makes it so that more than half the volume in any Vitamin E capsule is made up of esterified soy oil..... you do the math!

 
Q: Let me preface this by letting you know that this is my personal experience - which I discussed with Dr. Wong...... Dr. Wong, I have been following your Healthy Heart recommendations for years and they have worked really well. But I continued to have episodes of irregular heart beat under high stress and if I got low on Magnesium. Ever since I started using the 4 Spectrum Vitamin E you recommend (at the suggested doses on the bottle) I have not had a single tachycardia episode or incidence of irregular heart beat. And, that's even considering I know I'm low on magnesium (because of the restless leg I get when I am low on mag.) and was under tremendous stress during the tax season. I feel great! Is this what a good Vitamin E is supposed to do? (Keep in mind that I used to take the raw liquid CoQ10 by the teaspoon and it still took a long time to settle down my heart episodes.)

A: Yes, it is! I have always believed that all of the positive heart benefits attributed to CoQ10 these last few years has really been the function of Vitamin E. Research was done in the 1960's* which details all of the wonderful benefits Vitamin E has on the heart - but that research was done using Vitamin E that was extracted using the Cold Press of Wheat Germ not Soy! So, all the new research showing Vitamin E doesn't do anything good for us is from the Vitamin E that's estrogenated. This 4 Spectrum Vitamin E doesn't have any extra soy oil added to it plus it goes through extra processing to remove as much of the soy residue as possible. So the end product is between 90 to 95% estrogen free unlike virtually every other Vitamin E on the market. We also need to throw out all of the modern day recommendations for taking 800 IU's or less of Vitamin E. The false teaching here is that too much Vitamin E will throw off your lipids. If that's so for Vitamin E why is it not so for all the estrogenated Omega's everyone wants you to take. There is a hidden agenda here to get Vitamin E to the level where it will not work and to sell you things that are more expensive. The first conspiracy is from the drug companies, the second is from the vitamin companies who oft times are owned by the drug companies or have nasty owners who don't care about nutrients and only care about cash. I'm so glad the 4 Spectrum Vitamin E is helping your heart function better.
