Best For

Pros

• ✓Good value: 180 softgels last six months at one a day, and one reviewer said it was cheaper than high street shops
• ✓Vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free with vegetable-based softgels, and one reviewer said it suits a halal diet
• ✓A few reviewers pierce the softgels and use the oil on their skin or mix it into moisturiser, and say it leaves skin softer and glowing
• ✓One softgel a day keeps the routine simple, and one reviewer said it caused no digestive discomfort when taken with meals

Cons

• ✗Uses DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, the synthetic form, which the body generally absorbs and uses less well than natural d-alpha-tocopherol (one reviewer wrongly believed it was the natural form)
• ✗Several reviewers found the softgels too large. One said it sometimes goes down fine but other times makes them gag, so they now squeeze out the oil instead of swallowing the capsule
• ✗Two buyers received bottles with the softgels stuck together and couldn't get them out, and two others got opened bottles with capsules missing
• ✗A few reviewers noticed no real difference to their health
