NOW Foods E-1000 100% Tocoferoles Mixtos, 100 perlas

What is Vitamin E and why is it important?

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as an antioxidant in the body. NOW Foods E-1000 100% Mixed Tocopherols provides 1000 IU of natural vitamin E in the form of d-alpha-tocopherol, along with a blend of tocopherols (beta, gamma, and delta) that offer a complete antioxidant profile. This softgel presentation facilitates its absorption and daily consumption.

Benefits of Vitamin E

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin E contributes to:

• Protecting cells from oxidative damage.
• The normal functioning of the immune system.

Thanks to its antioxidant action, vitamin E helps neutralize free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage cells and accelerate aging. An adequate intake of vitamin E is especially important for those seeking to maintain their overall health and combat daily oxidative stress.

How much vitamin E do I need daily?

The reference intake for adults in the European Union is 12 mg of vitamin E per day, equivalent to approximately 18 IU. However, needs may vary depending on age, sex, and lifestyle. This supplement provides 1000 IU per softgel, a high dose that should be taken under professional recommendation. It is advised not to exceed the daily dose indicated on the package.

Difference between natural and synthetic vitamin E

Vitamin E can be found in two forms: natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) and synthetic (dl-alpha-tocopherol). The natural form has higher bioavailability, meaning the body utilizes it better. NOW Foods E-1000 uses natural vitamin E from vegetable oils, and also includes other tocopherols (beta, gamma, delta) that enhance the antioxidant effect. Mixed tocopherols better mimic the composition of vitamin E found in food.

How to take this vitamin E supplement?

The recommended dose is one softgel daily, preferably with a meal containing fats to improve absorption. Do not chew the softgels, swallow them whole with plenty of water. This product is suitable for vegetarians and is GMO-free. Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
