21st Century Vitamina E Natural 400 UI - 110 Cápsulas Blandas

What is Vitamin E?

Discover 21St Century I.U. — Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that acts as an antioxidant in the body. This supplement contains natural d-alpha-tocopherol, the most bioavailable and effective form of vitamin E. Unlike the synthetic version (dl-alpha-tocopherol), the natural form is better absorbed and retained in the body, offering optimal cellular protection.

Each softgel provides 400 IU (International Units) of natural vitamin E, equivalent to approximately 268 mg of d-alpha-tocopherol. This softgel presentation facilitates nutrient intake and absorption.

Benefits of Vitamin E

Vitamin E contributes to various vital functions, supported by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

• Protection of cells from oxidative damage: Neutralizes free radicals, reducing oxidative stress that can damage cell membranes.
• Normal function of the immune system: Helps maintain the body's defenses, especially important in older people or those with increased requirements.
• Skin protection from oxidative stress: Helps maintain skin health by protecting skin cells from free radicals.

These benefits make vitamin E an ally for general well-being, especially in contexts of cellular aging or exposure to adverse environmental factors.

How much vitamin E to take per day?

The adequate intake of vitamin E for adults according to the EFSA is 13 mg per day for men and 11 mg for women. However, higher doses such as 400 IU (268 mg) can be used under supervision or as a specific supplement. It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose indicated on the package, as very high doses (more than 300 mg/day) can have adverse effects, especially if anticoagulants are taken.

This product provides 110 capsules, enough for more than three months of use if one capsule is taken daily. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Side effects and recommendations

Natural vitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. However, some people may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Very high doses (above 300 mg/day) could interfere with blood clotting, so those taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications should consult their doctor before using this supplement.

This product has been formulated with high quality standards, ensuring purity, freshness, and potency. The softgels facilitate swallowing and nutrient absorption.

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.
