Question 1

What is the difference in cataplex e and cataplex e2?

Accepted Answer

I bought this to help with altitude sickness (google it) and it worked!! I also found te following general information, hope it helps! Vitamin E in its "raw" state (D-alpha tocopherol) is in oil form. If it is put into tablets or hard gelatin capsules it must be esterified. That means that a natural carrier must be added, such as acetate or succinate. These esterified forms are written as D-alpha tocopheryl acetate or D-alpha tocopheryl succinate. Since the carrier breaks down when ingested, esterified vitamin E is still considered natural as long as the D is present versus the DL. Look for the Natural Source Vitamin E Association (NSVEA) logo on the label if you want this type of a natural vitamin E.According to Dr. Bruce West of Health Alert, "all store-bought vitamin E is simply the small antioxidant portion of the whole nutritional complex" so one must not try to solve a vitamin E deficiency with "tocopherols of any type." He uses a real, whole vitamin E complex called "Cataplex E2" from Standard Process Labs. He says, "Cataplex E2 is the live essence of vitamin E -- rich plants and proteins like pea plants, beet roots, liver, adrenal, and more. These include the naturally occurring nutritional counterparts -- trace mineral activators, enzymes, etc.-- all preserved in a patented process designed to retain the live integrity of the plant and animal nutrition. In contrast, tocopherols are synthetically produced from tar or industrially stripped away from corn oil."According to new research, avocados are the richest fruit source of vitamin E, followed by the kiwi, nectarines, grapes, and then peaches. Avocados are also the best fruit source of lutein, the compound that protects against cataract formation and macular degeneration.

Question 3

Will be backpacking at 10,000 ft+ elevation, coming from 800ft elevation.  When should I start taking and how often during 6-day trip?

Accepted Answer

I spent a week in Leadville, Colorado (10K+) and no headaches and nausea which was wonderful. I took one/day four days before the trip and throughout. I did hike a 14er and felt tired. Some of it I'm sure was due to the altitude.

Question 4

What's the difference between E2 and E?

Accepted Answer

Both products provide ingredients with antioxidant activity and are a good source of antioxidant selenium.  Cataplex E supports cells and cell processes as well as healthy thyroid function.  Cataplex E2 supports cellular health and general well-being. The ingredient amounts are different in the two products.  Standard Process and iServe recommend you discuss with your health care practitioner about which product is best for you.
