                                Studies show that while the initial plasma half-life for α-tocopherol can be just 2-3 days, its overall retention in the body is significantly longer, lasting months or years due to storage in adipose tissue. The complex process determining the half-life of vitamin E involves hepatic sorting, fat storage, and more.
