This supplement contains Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) in its natural form. Each softgel provides 268.5 mg, which corresponds to 400 IU. This is a significant dosage. The softgels are made with olive oil as a carrier, which is logical for a fat-soluble vitamin. Produced in Germany, vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose-free. One bottle contains 100 softgels, enough for over three months.
Vitamin E actually consists of an entire group of substances. The form that your body recognizes and retains best is D-alpha-tocopherol. This is the natural variant. There is also a synthetic version, which you recognize by the designation “DL-alpha-tocopherol.” The difference lies in how your liver processes it. Your liver has a protein that specifically selects natural D-alpha-tocopherol and keeps it in your bloodstream. The synthetic variant is largely eliminated again. In practice, this means that with the natural form, more vitamin E actually reaches your cells. LUTO Supplements exclusively uses natural D-alpha-tocopherol in these softgels.
Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Your cell membranes contain fatty acids sensitive to what are known as free radicals. These are unstable particles that form during normal bodily processes, but also during stress, intense exertion, or sun exposure. Vitamin E is found in these cell membranes and acts as a kind of safety net. It captures free radicals before they can damage the fatty acids in your cell membrane. It thus interrupts a chain reaction that would otherwise continue further and further. In short: it protects the components of your cells from within.
What many people don't know: vitamin E is fat-soluble. This means that your body only absorbs it well in the presence of fat. LUTO dissolves vitamin E in olive oil. This fatty matrix is already present in the softgel itself. So you don't necessarily need to eat a fatty meal to absorb the vitamin well, although a meal always helps, of course. Compared to a dry tablet or capsule without a fatty solvent, a softgel with olive oil has a practical advantage here. The capsule shell is made of gelatin with glycerin, which makes the softgel pliable and easy to swallow.
At 268.5 mg per softgel, or 400 IU, this product is at the higher end of what is found in vitamin E softgels. The reference intake (RI) for adults is 12 mg per day. One softgel thus provides over 2200% of this value. This may seem impressive, but in supplement research, dosages of 100 to 400 IU are often used. Nevertheless, it is good to monitor your total intake. Do you already get vitamin E through nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, or a multivitamin? Then it is wise to take this into account. If in doubt, you can always consult a doctor or pharmacist.
These Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) softgels from LUTO Supplements combine a natural form with a convenient fatty carrier in a simple formula. No superfluous additions, produced according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and HACCP standards. With 100 softgels per bottle, you'll have enough for a long time.
This product exclusively contains the natural D-form of alpha-tocopherol. Your liver selects this form via a specific transport protein and retains it in your bloodstream longer than the synthetic DL variant.
Each softgel provides 268.5 mg of vitamin E. This dosage is at the higher end of what is common in supplement research (100 to 400 IU). One softgel per day is sufficient.
Vitamin E is fat-soluble. In this softgel capsule, it is dissolved in olive oil, allowing your body to absorb it directly. This makes you less dependent on a fatty meal for good absorption.
The formula is simple: vitamin E, olive oil and a softgel capsule. No artificial colors or preservatives. Produced in Germany according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and HACCP standards.

D-alpha-tocopherol is the natural form of vitamin E. Your body recognizes and retains this variant better than the synthetic version (DL-alpha-tocopherol). This is because your liver has a specific protein, alpha-tocopherol transfer protein, which selects the natural D-form and keeps it in your bloodstream. The synthetic variant is largely eliminated again.
IU stands for International Units, a unit that expresses the biological activity of fat-soluble vitamins. 400 IU of natural Vitamin E corresponds to 268.5 mg of D-alpha-tocopherol. This is a high dosage compared to the reference intake of 12 mg per day. In supplement research, dosages of 100 to 400 IU are regularly used.
The best time is during or after a meal. Vitamin E is fat-soluble, so your body absorbs it better in the presence of fat in your stomach. This softgel already contains olive oil as a carrier, which aids absorption. But a meal with a little fat makes it complete.
This is indeed a high dosage, well above the reference intake of 12 mg. However, dosages of 100 to 400 IU are widely used in research. It depends on your personal situation and what you already obtain through diet or other supplements. Do you already get vitamin E from nuts, seeds, or vegetable oils? Then it's wise to take that into account. If in doubt, it's best to consult a doctor or pharmacist.
Vitamin E is found in your cell membranes, between the fatty acids. Free radicals, unstable particles formed during normal bodily processes, can damage these fatty acids through a chain reaction. Vitamin E captures such a free radical by donating an electron to it. This stops the chain reaction before more damage occurs. It thus acts as a kind of safety net in your cell membrane.
Natural vitamin E is called D-alpha-tocopherol; the synthetic variant is called DL-alpha-tocopherol. The difference lies in the molecular structure. Your liver has a protein that specifically recognizes and retains the natural D-form. The synthetic DL variant also contains mirror image forms that your body largely eliminates. In practice, this means that with the natural form, more vitamin E actually reaches your cells. This product exclusively contains natural D-alpha-tocopherol.
