Registry check · Vitamin E
Does anyone independently verify Vitamin E supplements?
1 of the 12 Vitamin E products on this page is confirmed in USP Verified: Nature Made Vitamin E 180 mg (400 IU) dl-Alpha (100 Softgels, USP). For the others, the listing may name a certification, but we did not find it in a public registry — that is not evidence against them, only an absence of independent confirmation.
Certification is not a dosing guarantee. Across the whole catalogue, certified products reach the clinically studied dose 57% of the time and uncertified ones 71% — a gap too small to mean anything (Fisher p = 0.185). Read the Vitamin E dose column either way.
The 12 products on this page checked against all 5,317 US NSF, USP and Informed Sport listings, 2026-08-25. Full method and limitations.
What Vitamin E labels show
Priced per day, these vitamin E products run $0.08 to $1.16 — a 14× gap between the cheapest and dearest vitamin E here, across 9 brands.
Servings here are close enough to compare directly, so the gap is a real one: Nature's Bounty at $0.08 states about the same dose per serving as Metagenics at $1.16.

These Vitamin E servings are not comparable to each other
Doctor's Best Vitamin E Tocotrienols (TocoGaia) (60 Softgels) states 20 IU a serving and Metagenics Vitamin E Mixed Tocopherols E Complex 1:1 (60 Softgels) states 400 IU, both occupy one row of the same price column. Nature's Bounty Vitamin E 400 IU Natural d-Alpha (120 Softgels) is the lowest here at $0.08 a day, and its serving (400 IU) is not smaller than most, so its low price is not down to a small serving. Before comparing Nature's Bounty Vitamin E 400 IU Natural d-Alpha (120 Softgels) with Metagenics Vitamin E Mixed Tocopherols E Complex 1:1 (60 Softgels), check what each calls a serving.
