DEVA Vitamina E Natural 400 UI con Tocoferoles Mixtos - 90 Cápsulas

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as a powerful natural antioxidant. Its main function is to protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage cell membranes, proteins, and DNA. There are eight distinct forms of vitamin E: four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) and four tocotrienols. The most active form in the body is alpha-tocopherol, but consuming a blend of tocopherols offers a more complete spectrum of antioxidant protection.

DEVA's supplement provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) along with d-beta, d-gamma, and d-delta tocopherols, all derived from non-GMO sunflower. This combination mimics the natural composition of vitamin E found in foods, promoting better absorption and utilization by the body.

Benefits of Vitamin E

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage, which is essential for maintaining overall health. Additionally, it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, helping the body defend itself against external aggressions. It has also been linked to maintaining healthy skin, as antioxidant protection helps counteract the effects of oxidative stress on skin cells.

These claims are supported by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which has approved the use of these health claims for vitamin E in food supplements. It is important to remember that benefits are obtained within the context of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

How much Vitamin E to take per day?

The recommended daily dose of vitamin E for adults in the European Union is 12 mg (approximately 18 IU) of alpha-tocopherol. However, many supplements offer higher doses, such as 400 IU (about 268 mg), which are considered safe within established limits. One capsule a day of this supplement provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E, an adequate amount for those seeking an extra supply of this antioxidant.

It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose indicated on the package, as very high doses (above 1000 mg per day) can have adverse effects. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if other medications are being taken.

Different forms of Vitamin E: natural vs synthetic

Vitamin E can come in two main forms: natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) and synthetic (dl-alpha-tocopherol). The natural form has significantly higher bioavailability: it is absorbed and retained in the body almost twice as much as the synthetic form. For this reason, quality supplements usually use natural vitamin E.

DEVA's product exclusively uses d-alpha-tocopherol obtained from non-GMO sunflower, guaranteeing its vegetable origin and high biological activity. In addition, it includes beta, gamma, and delta tocopherols, which provide complementary antioxidant properties. This blend of tocopherols is similar to that found in foods such as nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils, making it a more complete option than supplements that only contain alpha-tocopherol.

Side effects and recommendations

Vitamin E is generally safe when consumed in recommended doses. In very high doses (above 1000 mg/day), it can cause side effects such as nausea, fatigue, headache, or clotting problems. People taking anticoagulants or who have vitamin K deficiency should consult their doctor before taking vitamin E supplements.

This supplement is formulated to be 100% vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It contains no animal-derived ingredients and is produced in facilities that meet high quality standards.

Warning: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
