Vitamin E price per mg — cheapest first

Vitamin E labels declare either IU or mg. IU figures are converted using the label standard of 1 IU = 0.67mg for the natural form (d-alpha-tocopherol) and 1 IU = 0.45mg for the synthetic form (dl-alpha-tocopherol); which one applies is read from the form named on the label. 400 IU of the natural form reads as 268mg.

Price per mg ranges from a low of $0.000301/mg to a median of $0.0353/mg. The median is 117× the lowest, so the cost of the same 1mg of Vitamin E spreads over a hundredfold across products. That means the per-unit gap between products near the top and the middle of the ranking is that large.

Price per mg is computed for 2,255 of the 2,429 listed (93%). The rest, missing a sale price or amount, are placed at the bottom of the ranking and excluded from the statistics above.

The Vitamin E amount per serving ranges from 0mg to 671.1mg, with a median of 19mg. The maximum is 35× the median, so high-dose singles and blends listing a small Vitamin E amount sit in the same table.

The products in this list come from 378 brands, and the sort order is determined solely by price per mg.

Products classified by label form notation number 1,589 (65% of the total), and the most frequently noted form is d-alpha tocopherol (natural) with 1,248. Products with no form notation, or whose notation does not match the classification rules, do not appear on the per-form pages, so the per-form product counts sum to less than the total product count above.

Products that also contain tocotrienols or gamma- and delta-tocopherol sometimes declare only the alpha-tocopherol figure, so the declared amount may not stand for all of the vitamin E in the product. When the form is stated too vaguely to tell natural from synthetic, the IU figure is converted with the natural factor (0.67).
