Protocol for Life Balance E-400 268 (400 UI) - Vitamin E with Selenium and Mixed Tocopherols - 120 Softgels

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as an antioxidant in the body. This Protocol for Life Balance supplement offers 268 mg (400 IU) of natural vitamin E in the form of d-alpha-tocopherol, enriched with a blend of tocopherols and selenium. Each softgel provides a high dose to support cellular health. The combination of d-alpha-tocopherol with mixed tocopherols (beta, gamma, and delta) mimics the composition of vitamin E found in foods, offering a full spectrum of antioxidants. Selenium, an essential trace mineral, works synergistically with vitamin E to enhance its effectiveness. This product has been formulated for those seeking a high-quality supplement, manufactured under strict GMP standards and suitable for special diets, being dairy-free and halal certified.

Benefits of Vitamin E

Vitamin E is recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for its health benefits. Specifically, EFSA has approved the following health claims:

• Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• Vitamin E contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

These properties make vitamin E a key nutrient for maintaining overall health, especially in situations of oxidative stress, such as exposure to pollutants or aging. The natural form (d-alpha-tocopherol) used in this supplement has superior bioavailability to the synthetic form, meaning the body absorbs and uses it more efficiently. Furthermore, the inclusion of selenium complements the antioxidant action, as this mineral is part of enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, which neutralize free radicals.

How much Vitamin E should I take daily?

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin E for adults in the European Union is 12 mg. This supplement provides 268 mg (400 IU) per capsule, a much higher amount than the RDA. However, high doses may be appropriate in certain situations under professional supervision, provided that the upper tolerable intake limits (set at 300 mg/day for the EU) are not exceeded. It is recommended to take one capsule daily with food to promote absorption, or as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose and remember that food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet.

Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E: What's the difference?

Vitamin E comes in two main forms: natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) and synthetic (dl-alpha-tocopherol). The natural form is extracted from vegetable oils such as soy or sunflower, while the synthetic form is produced chemically. The bioavailability of natural vitamin E is approximately double that of synthetic, meaning the body retains and uses it better. Protocol for Life Balance exclusively uses natural vitamin E in its capsules, and also includes mixed tocopherols (gamma, delta, and beta) that act as complementary antioxidants. The added selenium further strengthens the supplement's antioxidant profile. This combination makes the product especially effective for those seeking comprehensive, high-quality antioxidant support.
