Kirkland Signature Vitamina E 400 UI, 500 Cápsulas Blandas (Paquete de 2)

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as an antioxidant in the body. It is naturally found in foods such as nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. As a dietary supplement, vitamin E is typically found in the form of alpha-tocopherol, the most active form in the human body. Kirkland Signature softgels contain vitamin E at a dosage of 400 IU per softgel, offering a high-quality USP verified formula.

Benefits of Vitamin E

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage. This antioxidant effect is important for maintaining overall health, as it helps neutralize free radicals generated by factors such as pollution, UV radiation, and normal metabolism.

In addition, vitamin E contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. Adequate levels of vitamin E can help maintain the body's defenses, especially in older people or those with diets low in healthy fats.

How much Vitamin E should you take daily?

The recommended daily dose for adults is 12 mg of vitamin E per day, according to EU reference intakes. Each Kirkland Signature softgel provides 400 IU of vitamin E, which is approximately equivalent to 268 mg (1 mg of alpha-tocopherol = 1.49 IU). This exceeds the recommended daily intake, so the dosage indicated by the manufacturer or a healthcare professional should be followed.

The usual dosage for this product is one softgel per day, preferably with a meal containing fat to promote absorption. The recommended daily dose should not be exceeded without consulting a doctor.

What is USP verification?

USP verification ensures that the product contains the declared ingredients in the indicated quantities, that it is free of contaminants, and that it is manufactured following good manufacturing practices.
