Source Naturals Vitamina E 400 UI - 250 Cápsulas Blandas

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. Unlike other water-soluble antioxidants, vitamin E accumulates in cell membranes and fatty tissues, where it protects cells from damage caused by free radicals. Its most biologically active form is d-alpha-tocopherol, present in this Source Naturals supplement.

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 functioning of the immune system. These effects are due to its ability to neutralize free radicals and maintain the integrity of cell membranes. In addition, vitamin E plays a vital role in controlling lipid peroxidation, a process that can damage fats in cell membranes.

• Protects cells from oxidative stress.
• Supports normal immune function.
• Helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes.

How much vitamin E to take daily?

The reference intake for adults in the EU is 12 mg per day (equivalent to approximately 18 IU). Each Source Naturals tablet provides 400 IU of vitamin E, which is a higher dose than the recommended daily intake. It is suggested to take 1 to 2 tablets daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to improve its absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Different forms of vitamin E: natural vs synthetic

Vitamin E comes in two forms: natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) and synthetic (dl-alpha-tocopherol). The natural form has superior bioavailability, as the body retains and uses it more efficiently. Many experts recommend opting for the natural form to obtain the maximum antioxidant benefit.

Side effects and recommendations

Vitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. At very high doses (greater than 1000 mg per day), adverse effects such as nausea, headache, or fatigue may occur. This product contains soy, so people with allergies should consult their doctor.
