Vitamin E 400 IU Powder - D-Alpha Tocopherol, 500 mg per Serving, 100 g

What is Vitamin E?

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, which is the form you'll find in this powdered supplement. Unlike synthetic forms (DL-Alpha Tocopherol), natural vitamin E from plant sources is better absorbed and retained in the body, offering more effective antioxidant support.

Each 500 mg serving (approximately half a teaspoon) provides 400 IU of vitamin E, a dose that amply covers recommended intakes for adults. This powdered format offers great versatility: you can mix it into smoothies, juices, yogurts, or simply take it with water.

Benefits of Vitamin E

Vitamin E contributes to key functions in the body, supported by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

• Cellular protection: Helps protect cells from oxidative damage, a natural process related to aging and environmental stress.
• Immune system: Promotes the normal functioning of the immune system, helping to maintain the body's defenses.
• Skin health: Helps protect the skin from oxidative stress, making it an ideal supplement for those looking to maintain a healthy appearance.

These benefits are obtained as part of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Regular consumption of vitamin E can be especially useful during periods of increased exposure to free radicals or when dietary intake is insufficient.

How much Vitamin E to take daily?

The recommended daily dose for adults in the EU is 12 mg of vitamin E, equivalent to about 18 IU. However, many people opt for higher doses to meet specific needs, always without exceeding the upper safety limits (300 mg/day, about 447 IU).

With this product, a 500 mg serving provides 400 IU, an amount that falls within the safe range for most adults. Nevertheless, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if you are taking anticoagulant medications or have any medical condition.

What makes natural Vitamin E special?

Vitamin E comes in two main forms: natural (D-Alpha Tocopherol) and synthetic (DL-Alpha Tocopherol). The natural form, like the one in this supplement, has significantly higher bioavailability: the body retains it twice as long and absorbs it more effectively. Furthermore, since it comes from plant sources, it is the preferred option for those seeking a clean and well-tolerated product.

This vitamin E powder is obtained from vegetable oils, without the use of harsh chemical solvents. It is a gluten-free product, suitable for special diets, and does not contain common allergens such as soy, dairy, or nuts (although it is processed in facilities that also handle these ingredients).

Side effects and recommendations

Vitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. At very high doses (above 1000 mg/day), adverse effects such as nausea, headache, or fatigue may occur. Therefore, it is important not to exceed the indicated dose.

This product is intended for healthy adults. Its use is not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical supervision. If you are taking anticoagulant medication (warfarin, aspirin), consult your doctor before taking vitamin E supplements.

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 younger children.
