Vitamina E 200 UI con Tocoferoles Mixtos - 100 Cápsulas Blandas - NOW Foods

What is vitamin E?

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as an antioxidant in the body. This NOW Foods supplement provides 200 IU of vitamin E in the form of mixed tocopherols, a natural source obtained from plants. Mixed tocopherols include alpha, beta, gamma, and delta-tocopherol, offering a more complete antioxidant profile than alpha-tocopherol alone.

Benefits of vitamin E

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. These benefits are supported by health claims approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

How much vitamin E to take daily?

Each softgel contains 200 IU of vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol and other tocopherols). The reference intake for adults in the EU is 12 mg per day (equivalent to approximately 18 IU). Consult a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual needs. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Different forms of vitamin E: natural vs. synthetic

Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) has greater bioavailability than the synthetic form (dl-alpha-tocopherol). This product uses naturally sourced mixed tocopherols, which means your body can absorb and utilize it more effectively.

Side effects and recommendations

Vitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. Very high doses may interfere with blood clotting. Consult your doctor if you are taking blood thinners or have any medical condition. This product contains gelatin (derived from kosher sources), so it is not suitable for vegans.

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.
