Swanson Vitamina E Natural - 2 UI, 100 Cápsulas Blandas

What is vitamin E and why is it important?

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as an antioxidant in the body. Its main function is to protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, thus contributing to the maintenance of healthy tissues. In addition, vitamin E plays a key role in the normal functioning of the immune system. The Swanson Natural Vitamin E supplement provides 2 IU of d-alpha-tocopherol per softgel, the natural form of vitamin E with higher bioavailability.

Health benefits of vitamin E

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

• The protection of cells from oxidative damage.
• The normal functioning of the immune system.

These benefits are due to its antioxidant capacity, which helps maintain the integrity of cell membranes throughout the body. An adequate intake of vitamin E, as part of a balanced diet, promotes the overall health of tissues.

How much vitamin E to take daily?

Each Swanson softgel provides 2 IU of natural vitamin E. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adults in the EU is 12 mg of vitamin E, equivalent to approximately 18 IU, so 2 IU is a smaller amount than the RDA. This product is designed to complement the diet, not to cover the totality of daily needs. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Is natural or synthetic vitamin E better?

Natural vitamin E, labeled as d-alpha-tocopherol, has significantly higher bioavailability than the synthetic version (dl-alpha-tocopherol). The body recognizes and retains the natural form better, which means that a smaller dose is needed to obtain the same benefits. Swanson uses natural vitamin E from vegetable oils, ensuring optimal absorption and maximum efficacy.

Their facilities are certified in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and perform purity and potency tests in independent laboratories.

Side effects and recommendations

Vitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. At very high doses (above 1,000 mg/day), it may increase the risk of bleeding, especially in people taking anticoagulants. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
