Solgar Vitamina E 200 UI - 100 Softgels - Natural - Gluten-Free

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient and the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant. It helps protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. In addition, it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. This Solgar formulation provides naturally sourced Vitamin E as d-alpha-tocopherol, accompanied by a blend of tocopherols (d-gamma, d-delta, and d-beta) for comprehensive antioxidant support.

What makes this Vitamin E special?

What sets this supplement apart is the use of natural Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) instead of the synthetic form (dl-alpha-tocopherol). Natural Vitamin E has higher bioavailability, meaning the body absorbs and utilizes it more effectively. Additionally, it includes mixed tocopherols, which mimic the Vitamin E profile found in whole foods. The oil-based softgels promote optimal absorption.

Benefits of Vitamin E

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

• Protection of cells from oxidative damage
• Normal function of the immune system

These benefits are scientifically backed and are the only ones we can clearly state. Each softgel provides 200 IU of natural Vitamin E, an adequate dose to meet the daily needs of most adults.

How much Vitamin E to take per day?

The reference intake for adults in the EU is 12 mg of Vitamin E per day (approximately 18 IU of natural Vitamin E). One 200 IU capsule provides a higher amount, so it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions: one capsule daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to improve absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Different forms of Vitamin E: natural vs synthetic

Vitamin E comes in two main forms: natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) and synthetic (dl-alpha-tocopherol). The natural form is absorbed up to twice as much as the synthetic and is better retained in tissues. The mixed tocopherols (gamma, delta, beta) present in this product offer complementary antioxidant activity. When choosing a supplement, opting for the natural form ensures greater efficacy.

Side effects and recommendations

Vitamin E is safe at recommended doses. Very high doses (more than 1000 mg per day) can interfere with blood clotting. Consult your doctor if you are taking anticoagulants or have any health conditions.
