My wife was advised to take as pure as possible a vitaminLooking at E supplement as she could findvitamin products sold commercially, but all “pure vitamin E oil” products I have found seem to be for skincare rather than consumption as a supplement.

I understandhave read that d-alpha tocopherol to beis the “best” form of vitamin E with greatest bioavailability, but findeven liquid formssupplement products often contain sunflower or other oils in addition, which I understand to be a source of but of course are not entirely vitamin E.

Is a pure liquid supplement possible? And if not, or practical for consumption as a supplement, and if it is not common or not advisable, why?
