What is Vitamin E 400IU?

Vitamin E 400IU by EssentialSeries is a food supplement in softgels of oily content made based on D-alpha-tocopherol, a natural form of vitamin E.

D-alpha-tocopherol is the bioavailable alpha form of oral fat-soluble natural vitamin E (NCIt, s.f.)

The natural vitamin E 400IU product comes in an oil medium, because as a fat-soluble vitamin it's best to combine it with a small amount of oil (Reboul, 2017).

Why take Vitamin E 400IU?

Features

Natural vitamin E is a fat-soluble and nutritionally indispensable vitamin – as our body can't synthesise it by itself, it must be provided through the diet.

Why buy Vitamin E from HSN?

Form

The vitamin E we can find in nature comes in eight different chemical forms, which are used in the production of products based on vitamins and minerals:

• Alfa-, Beta-, Gamma, and Delta-Tocoferol.
• Alfa-, Beta-, Gamma, and Delta-Tocotrienol.

Companies tend to market products with other isoforms, or tocotrienol, under the claim of “vitamin E”, as they are cheaper products to produce and develop.

The viability of using these vitamins is questionable as any natural form of vitamin E is expressed in equivalents converted to natural alpha-tocopherol.

Absorption

Our vitamin E has been diluted in an oil medium.

We've used this method because vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin.

Concentration

A high concentration which covers the vitamin E nutrient reference values that establish the recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals, among others.

Easy-to-take softgels

This means that when the softgels come into contact with water, their polar ends associate with this medium, altering their isoelectric point and facilitating their swallowing.

These small dimensions make the use of this supplement simple, even for those who find it difficult to take pills and tablets.
