Nutricology Vitamina E Succinato - 400 UI d-Alfa-Tocoferil Succinato - Cápsulas Vegetales Hipoalergénicas

What is vitamin E succinate?

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for the body. In its succinate form (d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate), it comes as a stable dry powder, ideal for vegetable capsules. This variant combines the antioxidant activity of vitamin E with succinate, a metabolite that participates in the Krebs cycle, the central pathway for cellular energy production. Each capsule provides 400 IU of d-alpha-tocopherol, the most bioavailable natural form.

Benefits of vitamin E

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage, helping to maintain the integrity of cell membranes. In addition, it supports the normal functioning of the immune system. These properties are backed by health claims approved by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). As an antioxidant, it complements the body's natural defenses against free radicals generated by metabolism and external factors.

How much vitamin E to take daily?

The reference intake for adults in the EU is 12 mg of vitamin E per day, equivalent to approximately 18 IU. However, needs may vary depending on age, health status, and diet. This supplement provides 400 IU per capsule, a higher dose than the recommended intake, so it is advisable not to exceed one capsule per day without consulting a healthcare professional. Remember that food supplements should not replace a balanced diet.

Difference between natural and synthetic vitamin E

Vitamin E can be found in natural form (d-alpha-tocopherol) or synthetic form (dl-alpha-tocopherol). The natural form has higher bioavailability, as the body recognizes and retains it more effectively. This product uses d-alpha-tocopherol, the natural variant, which ensures optimal absorption. In addition, succinate provides stability and allows for controlled release, ideal for those seeking sustained antioxidant support.

Side effects and recommendations

Vitamin E is generally well tolerated, but high doses (above 1000 mg/day) can cause gastrointestinal discomfort or interfere with blood clotting. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. This product is formulated without gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, egg, shellfish, fish or sesame, making it suitable for people with food allergies or sensitivities. Keep out of reach of young children. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
