Natural E 400 Supplement – Natural Vitamin E with Antioxidant Properties

Our dietary supplement Natural E has been developed to provide a natural, active form of vitamin E. Essential for good health, this fat-soluble molecule offers many health benefits, including significant antioxidant potency.

What is Vitamin E?

Discovered in the 20^th century, vitamin E was not initially considered a vitamin; to begin with, it was termed 'Factor X' because of its role in reproduction. Scientific understanding of this molecule's properties subsequently improved and it was accorded vitamin status. This means the body needs it in order to function properly. Vitamin E is involved in several vital functions, but is best-known for its considerable antioxidant power, as a result of which it offers beneficial effects for protecting various elements of the body including:

• Red blood cells, vital for good oxygenation of the body, which combats the development of coronary and cardiovascular diseases caused by circulation problems, amongst others.
• Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), known for their central role in transporting cholesterol in the bloodstream, which helps prevent cardiovascular events including heart attacks and stroke.
• Cell membranes, including those in the skin, which help combat aging of the skin and cells.

Why take Vitamin E?

Vitamin E exists in Nature in various forms. It has eight distinct molecules identified, four of which are tocotrienols and four tocopherols. Alpha tocopherol is the most biologically active of these forms; it is preferentially absorbed and accumulated by the body. However, this natural form is not the most abundant in the human diet which is why supplementation with alpha tocopherol may be of benefit in helping the body function optimally.

Although vitamin E is present in foods such as vegetable oils and nuts, intake can sometimes be inadequate. Poor dietary habits may result in a lack of vitamin E, in which case supplementation may be necessary to restore normal levels in the body. Meeting daily requirements for vitamin E is all the more important since a lack of this vitamin can lead to certain metabolic dysfunctions. The first signs of deficiency are usually a burning sensation and pain in the hands and feet. Without proper diagnosis and suitable treatment, vitamin E deficiency can lead to more serious problems such as disorders of the immune system, retina and neuromuscular system.

What are the Benefits Associated with Vitamin E?

In addition to preventing or correcting deficiency, vitamin E supplementation may have a number of therapeutic applications. Research is ongoing to improve our understanding of vitamin E and evaluate the extent of its potential:

• It has attracted scientific interest because of its antioxidant potency, which helps combat oxidative stress and free radical damage.
• Vitamin E thus offers protective effects against cellular aging which is why it is often highlighted for its anti-aging effects, particularly aging of the skin.
• Its antioxidant power also helps prevent the development of age-related disorders including cardiovascular problems and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
• Some studies have already indicated it has other health-beneficial properties such as immune-stimulant, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet, and vasodilatory properties.

A high-quality dietary supplement, Natural E has been developed from a natural, active form of vitamin E: d-alpha tocopherol. Studied extensively, this form has proven bioavailability and efficacy in the body. To offer maximum benefits, this natural vitamin is encapsulated in softgels, each capsule containing 400 IU. This means the recommended dose is one to three capsules a day, to be taken at mealtimes, though this dose can be adapted to your needs and the advice of your therapist.
