Vitamin E, Tocopherol, Tocotrienols

Vitamins A, D, E and K dissolve in fats. They are deposited in adipose tissue and in the liver, which means for our body that they are not flushed out with water. Vitamin E is a valuable antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress caused by free radicals. In addition, vitamin E has a positive effect on the nervous system and helps protect red blood cells. The only source of vitamin E are products of plant origin - wheat germ oil, cereal grains and green leafy vegetables. The human body cannot produce it on its own, so it is necessary to get the vitamin from the outside. The name "vitamin E" refers not only to one substance, but to a group of eight different compounds. They are divided into tocopherols and tocotrienols.


Why is it worth using vitamin E ingredients: tocotrienols and tocopherols?

Tocopherols and tocotrienols come in the following configurations: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. As powerful antioxidants, they neutralize free radicals and convert them into harmless substances that can be easily eliminated from the body. In addition, they show the ability to protect polyunsaturated fatty acids - omega-3 and omega-6 - from oxidation while maintaining their properties. This significantly improves the body's immune barrier and protects it from external influences. Dietary supplements are available on the market that contain a combination of vitamin E with other fat-soluble vitamins, as well as preparations that are separately fortified with a mixture of several tocotrienols or separately with tocopherols - such as D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. This substance supports the protection of cells, affects the proper functioning of muscles, improves blood circulation and the proper functioning of vision. Dietary supplements can be taken in the form of capsules or oil enriched with vitamins.
