Vitamina E 400 UI en polvo - D-alfa-tocoferol, 500 mg por porción, 250 g

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 most active and bioavailable form is d-alpha-tocopherol, a natural compound that the body can efficiently use. This powdered supplement provides 400 IU (equivalent to 268 mg of d-alpha-tocopherol) per serving, which amply covers the recommended daily needs.

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage, a natural process that can be accelerated by factors such as pollution, UV radiation, or stress. In addition, it plays an important role in the normal functioning of the immune system, helping to maintain the body's defenses.

Benefits of vitamin E

According to health claims approved by the EFSA, vitamin E contributes to:

• Protect cells from oxidative damage.
• Maintain the normal functioning of the immune system.

These effects are due to its ability to neutralize free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage cellular structures. By incorporating this supplement into your daily routine, you help your body maintain an adequate antioxidant balance.

In addition, vitamin E is involved in the health of the skin and mucous membranes, although these applications require further research to be supported by European authorities.

How much vitamin E to take per day?

The reference intake for adults in the EU is 12 mg per day (approximately 12 IU of natural vitamin E). However, needs may vary depending on age, sex, and health status. This supplement provides 268 mg per serving (500 mg of powder), a dose that exceeds the basic recommendation but is within the established safe ranges (the maximum tolerable limit is around 300 mg/day).

It is recommended to start with one daily serving (half a teaspoon) mixed with water, juice, or a smoothie. Since vitamin E is fat-soluble, it is preferable to take it with a meal containing fats to optimize its absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Natural vs. synthetic form: d-alpha-tocopherol

This product uses d-alpha-tocopherol, the natural form of vitamin E. Unlike the synthetic form (dl-alpha-tocopherol), d-alpha-tocopherol has significantly higher bioavailability and retention in the body. Studies indicate that the body absorbs and uses twice as much natural vitamin E compared to synthetic.

Furthermore, as a pure powder without unnecessary excipients, we offer a clean and versatile option. You can easily adjust the dose and add it to your favorite foods or drinks.
