21st Century Vitamina E 1000 UI (dl-alfa) Cápsulas Blandas, 55 Cápsulas

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. It helps protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This 21st Century supplement provides 1000 IU of dl-alpha-tocopherol, the most common and effective synthetic form of vitamin E.

Benefits of Vitamin E according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claims for vitamin E:

• Cellular protection: Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage.
• Immune system: Vitamin E contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

These benefits are obtained with an adequate intake as part of a balanced diet.

How much Vitamin E do I need per day?

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adults in the EU is 12 mg of vitamin E, equivalent to approximately 18 IU of dl-alpha-tocopherol. This supplement provides 1000 IU per capsule, a much higher amount than the RDA, so its use is recommended under professional supervision or following the manufacturer's instructions.

Synthetic vs. natural form: dl-alpha-tocopherol

Vitamin E can be found in natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) or synthetic (dl-alpha-tocopherol) form. The synthetic form has slightly lower bioavailability, but it is equally effective in meeting daily needs. This product uses dl-alpha-tocopherol, the most common variant in supplements due to its stability and cost.

How to take this Vitamin E supplement?

Take one (1) softgel capsule daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to improve absorption. The softgels are easy to swallow and ensure optimal release of the active ingredient.

Precautions and possible side effects

Vitamin E is safe at recommended doses. Very high doses (more than 1000 mg/day) can cause digestive discomfort or interfere with blood clotting. Consult a healthcare professional before taking it if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking anticoagulant medications.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
