Based on Wikipedia, the following is known about Vitamin E:
1. Vitamin E is a collective name of 8 different substances
2. "Vitamin E" sold in drugstores is mostly only one of them - Alpha Tocopherol
3. Alpha Tocopherol is thought to be an antioxidant, thought it is not accepted by everybody
4. Another type of Vitamin E - Gamma Tocotrienol - is thought to have a special role in protecting neurons from damage
So it looks like that it may make more sense to take Gamma Tocotrienol form of Vitamin E. Is anybody taking it ? If yes - where do you buy it ?
