Vitamin E (or tocopherol) is often derived from wheat germ oil. I don't
know what the situation is in the States but some of our (UK)
manufacturers list the chemicals as if supplied in pure form but it is in
fact just the oil which is supplied. Thus it may have been a wheat-germ
oil capsule.
 
In the same way, some of our multivitamin products with long lists of B1,
B2, B6 etc. etc. just use Brewers Yeast. The assumption being that the
quoted vitamin content requirement will be met and no-one worries about
the extras. Of course, if it specifies some other source of the Vitamin E
there should not be a problem.
