Natural Jelly and Vit e proportions

@isvara,

The 'Natural Jelly' formula first appeared in the Bestlube... thread. In that same thread member @QuoVadis brought up the possibility of absorbing toxic levels of vitamin E. I addressed that issue in a subsequent post showing the likelihood of vitamin E overdose to be very remote.

If you are going to add vitamin E to your 'Natural Jelly' formula, you may wish to use Vitamin E extracted from natural sources in lieu of synthetically manufactured forms. There has been a study which implicated synthetically derived vitamin E with increased risk for developing prostate cancer. You can of course completely eliminate the vitamin E from the mixture as its properties were essentially to act as a preservative to keep the oil from going rancid. I suspect the bee's wax is just as equally effective as a preservative when blended with the oil on its own.
Good Vibes to You !

Thank you both,

@rumel I think I will just use the beeswax as it seems to do the job and the mix is simplified. Also SAO has a naturally long shelf life. I have the most fantastic local forest organic beeswax, it also has a great smell.

Added note: mixed up 200ml about 6 months supply cost around $8. I use it daily! I cannot express adequately my gratitude for the forum, the fellowship, the advice and the wisdom so graciously given by our senior members

I have not yet mastered the search function.
