It is found in the form of tocopherols and tocotrienols, with d-alpha-tocopherol being the most biologically active form. This Now Foods supplement contains a blend of natural tocopherols (d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma, and d-delta), offering a complete vitamin E profile. Each softgel provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E, equivalent to approximately 268 mg of d-alpha-tocopherol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of vitamin E\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. These effects are due to its ability to neutralize free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage cells and accelerate aging. By including mixed tocopherols, this supplement offers broader antioxidant action than alpha-tocopherol alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow much vitamin E to take per day?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily allowance (RDA) in the European Union is 12 mg of alpha-tocopherol, approximately 18 IU. However, many people opt for higher doses to maximize the antioxidant benefits. One capsule of this product provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E, a quantity much higher than the RDA. It is recommended to take one capsule daily with a fat-containing meal to improve absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting a healthcare professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDifferent forms of vitamin E: natural vs synthetic\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) has approximately twice the bioavailability of the synthetic form (dl-alpha-tocopherol). This means that the body retains and uses the natural version better. In addition, mixed tocopherols provide other compounds such as gamma-tocopherol, which has complementary antioxidant properties. This product uses only natural vitamin E from vegetable oils, non-GMO.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose mixed tocopherols?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplements containing only alpha-tocopherol can reduce gamma-tocopherol levels in the body. Mixed tocopherols maintain a natural balance, similar to that found in foods such as nuts and seeds. Gamma-tocopherol, in particular, has been studied for its ability to trap reactive nitrogen species, offering more complete antioxidant protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSide effects and recommendations\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. Very high doses (above 1000 mg per day) can interfere with blood clotting, especially in people taking anticoagulants. Consult your doctor before using this product if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have any medical condition. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48761008488602,"sku":null,"price":32.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/4831\/0170\/files\/51YlkW3gLML._AC_SL1000.jpg?v=1784379151","url":"https:\/\/vitaminaspain.es\/es\/products\/now-foods-vitamina-e-400-tocoferoles-mixtos-100-capsulas-blandas-b0001sr8j2","provider":"vitaminaspain","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
