What is Vitamin E?

Discover Standard Process Wheat — Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as an antioxidant in the body. It is naturally found in foods such as nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. This food supplement combines wheat germ oil with natural vitamin E extracted from sunflower oil, providing 33.4 mg per softgel capsule.

Benefits of Vitamin E

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system. These effects are due to its ability to neutralize free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage cells.

Additionally, vitamin E is involved in cell signaling and blood vessel health. Adequate intake helps maintain the integrity of cell membranes.

How much Vitamin E should I take daily?

The recommended daily dose for adults in the European Union is 12 mg of vitamin E. One capsule of this product provides 33.4 mg, which is equivalent to 278% of the reference intake. It is recommended to take one capsule daily with a meal that contains fat to facilitate its absorption.

Do not exceed the indicated daily dose. Vitamin E is safe at recommended doses, but very high doses (more than 300 mg/day) can interfere with blood clotting.
