Vitamin E is an essential nutrient found naturally in foods such as vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, avocados and leafy greens and it plays a crucial role in our health and well-being. It is known for its antioxidant properties and its multiple benefits for the skin, hair and immune system.
There are several forms of vitamin E:
- Alpha-tocopherol: The most common and active form of vitamin E in the human body, it has potent antioxidant activity and is considered an essential nutrient for health.
- Beta-tocopherol: It has antioxidant properties, although its activity can be lower than that of alpha-tocopherol.
- Gamma-tocopherol: It also has antioxidant activity and can play a role in protecting against oxidative stress.
- Delta-tocopherol: it is less common, and its antioxidant activity is somewhat lower.
Sometimes it is very difficult for us to obtain the necessary amounts through our diet and that is why it is important to resort to supplements.
To obtain the best possible number of benefits, mixtures of broad-spectrum tocopherols and tocotrienols, i.e., containing a balanced formula of all natural tocotrienol isomers (alpha, beta, gamma and delta), are often used for maximum absorption and efficiency.
In this Nutralie article we will tell you about the benefits that this vitamin has for the body, and which will help us improve our health and our quality of life.
POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT AND PHOTO-PROTECTIVE AGENT
Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant capacity. It protects cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to premature aging and the development of chronic diseases.
Vitamin E, being fat-soluble, accumulates in the outer layers of the skin and acts to protect it by reducing damage caused by environmental factors such as exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays by neutralising these free radicals.
IMPROVES SKIN AND HAIR QUALITY
Vitamin E, because of its moisturising and antioxidant properties, helps keep the skin soft, supple and radiant. It can, in addition to protecting against the sun’s rays, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and promote wound healing. It can also relieve skin problems such as dryness, irritation and inflammation.
In addition, it can stimulate the circulation of hair follicles in the scalp, which strengthens and improves the appearance of the hair and can also prevent it from being dry and brittle, leaving it smoother and brighter.
IMMUNE SUPPORT
Vitamin E plays an important role in the proper functioning of the immune system. It helps strengthen the body’s defences against infection and disease by improving immune cell activity. In addition, its antioxidant capacity protects them from oxidative damage, this contributes to a more effective immune response.
CONTRIBUTES TO CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
By neutralising free radicals, it helps prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol, in addition to reducing platelet aggregation. This reduces the risk of plaque formation in the arteries and improves the health of the circulatory system in general.
It also helps reduce inflammation in the blood vessel walls as well as their endothelial function, which promotes smoother circulation and reduces blood pressure.
IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH WITH OUR VITAMIN E COMPLEX
This vitamin can be found in our Vitamin E Complex in which we use a vitamin E from 100% natural vegetable oil. Our formula contains:
- D-alpha-tocopherol, which, as it is natural, has twice the activity of other synthetic forms.
- A mixture of tocopherols, which are also natural and are absorbed much better.
- A mixture of broad-spectrum tocotrienols which is also obtained through a patented extraction and purification process that guarantees the highest levels of purity.
Its properties and benefits can be enhanced and supplemented by combining its consumption with other supplements designed for skin, hair and nail care and which also contain Vitamin E as an active ingredient;
- Marine Collagen Complex, as it prevents the premature aging of the skin and moisturises it more.
- Hair Complex, which prevents hair loss and strengthens it by stimulating its growth.
