Vitamin E – an essential nutrient for a healthy body
Vitamin E is one of the 13 essential vitamins the body needs to function properly. It helps maintain healthy skin and eyes, protect cell membranes from damage caused by free radicals, and strengthen the immune system.
You can get vitamin E from your diet – it’s found in a wide variety of foods with a high-fat content, such as plant oils, avocados, nuts and seeds, and cereal products. Ageing, smoking, and drinking alcohol can all contribute to reduced levels of vitamin E, as do some low-fat diets (we’ll come back to that later), and many people use supplements like this one to make sure they’re getting enough of the good stuff.
Vitamin E capsules designed with efficacy in mind
As a fat-soluble antioxidant, vitamin E is better absorbed by the body when consumed alongside fat. But before it reaches the small intestine, where it gets absorbed, it has to pass through the watery environment of the stomach. For maximum bioavailability, Pharma Nord’s Bio-E-Vitamin comes in capsules containing refined soybean oil (a source of fat), that are designed to withstand stomach acidity.
Whether natural or synthetic, vitamin E can come in different chemical forms, with different biological results. With efficacy always in mind, Pharma Nord selected d-alpha-tocopherol for their Bio-E-Vitamin capsules, as it’s the most effective form of Vitamin E for the human body.
Ingredients
Vitamin E (d-a-tocopherol), Bulking agent: Soybean oil, refined, Capsule Shell: Bovine Gelatine, Humectant: Glycerol, Purified water
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take a vitamin E supplement?
It depends on individuals. Most at risk of low vitamin E are people with fat malabsorption disorders (like Crohns or Cystic Fibrosis), heavy smokers or drinkers, and those who eat a low fat diet. Always check with your doctor, pharmacist or qualified nutrition practitioner first.
How long will one pack of Bio-E-Vitamin last for one person?
If taken as recommended (1 capsule per day), 60 capsules is a 60 day supply.
Is there such a thing as too much vitamin E?
Taking too many vitamin E supplements may be harmful, but vitamin E toxicity is extremely rare, and if taken as directed, Bio-E-Vitamin supplements are unlikely to cause any harm.
Are Bio-E-Vitamin capsules suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Unfortunately not – the capsule shell is made from bovine gelatine.
Will these Bio-E-Vitamin supplements cause any side effects?
In rare cases, vitamin E supplements can cause stomach upset.
If you’re taking anticoagulant medications or have a vitamin K deficiency, a high intake of vitamin E may cause an increased risk of bleeding.
