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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy D-alpha-tocopherol and not just Vitamin E\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat vitamin E does in your cells\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOlive oil as a carrier in the softgel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 400 IU of vitamin E per softgel is a high dosage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LUTO Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49390707605732,"sku":"8720865080833","price":20.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Vitamin_E_400_I.U._foto_s.png?v=1783929485","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/luto-vitamine-e","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
