I like this formula, but it's so expensive I switched to another "ACES" product. which unfortunately didn't have mixed tocopherols, had too much vitamin C, as well as an unpleasant odor. all the other cheaper formulas I researched had the acidic type of vitamin C. so I'm back with Dr. Weil.

What makes this a magnificent find for vegetarians and vegans is the capsule material. Oily supplements like Vit. E and the carotenes have to be made in a gel-type capsule as regular capsules and vegicaps would be dissolved by them. That almost always means they are made of animal gelatin. This superior antioxidant supplement uses the very hard to find vegetarian "licaps". The mfr. of the licaps reserves the right to test supplements using their product for proper potencies, adding an extra layer of quality control.

If you're up on the latest on Vit. E, you know that mixed tocopherols containing high amounts of gamma tocopherol is the way Vit. E exists in natural food sources and is the form conferring the most protection. This supplement is one of the few which has this more expensive Vit. E. It also contains hard-to-find eye protective astaxanthin and zeaxanthin.

All in all, a great addition to your vitamin regimen, especially if you avoid animal products.

I'm a huge fan of Dr. Weil and his supplement recommendations. At different times, I've subscribed to the Dr. Weil Vitamin Advisor program, but I found that I could get the supplements through Amazon for less money (and free shipping), so I decided to go that route. However, when I received this item, I realized that it wasn't the same as the formula sold through Dr. Weil's website. The formula you buy from Dr. Weil directly is just one antioxidant capsule per day, not two. In addition, this standalone bottle is missing Lycopene (10 mg), Phytoene (800 mcg), and Phytofluene (800 mcg). And the standalone bottle includes Vitamin C (200 mg), whereas the version you get from Dr. Weil's website does not have any Vitamin C. If you don't find this a problem, then I do recommend this product.

I have tried severl diffferent types of antioxidant supplements with varied results. This is a good one and I was reasonably satisfied with the results ,however the very best antioxidant supplement that I have tried is Natures Pearl [...] The antioxidant value is much higher and I am more satisfied with their products. : )

Very high quality antioxidant formula. Carefully selected with some very effective antioxidants. You can always trust Dr. Weil's supplements.

My husband and I are taking this product and feel great. The only thing was that it took forever to get to us. No complaints though since I got the super saver shipping. I will buy again considering the discount - I checked around and Amazon has the best prices. Also, I'll have to account for the 3 1/2 week ship time frame. No biggie but I didn't time my vitamins right. I ran out of my other brand and had 2 weeks of nothing so I could feel the difference right away with this product.

I am a big fan of Dr. Weil and have been following him for many years. It is only recently, however, that I decided to order his vitamins, the cost being the prohibitive factor in the past. I had read some comments on the size of these pills but didn't pay too much attention since I have never had a problem swallowing pills in the past. So, there is a first time for everything. I can get them down when cut in half and taken with food (although the food bolus has to be pretty big to bury the pill in.....I may just choke on that instead). I imagine that they like the idea of "one a day"', or perhaps it's cheaper to produce one horse pill instead of two human sized pills. I'll stick with them for now but I'd much prefer taking two of a smaller size.

No problems with product, ordering process, or shipping. Used the free shipping and received my order fast, in about half the alloted time.
