Vitamin E

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is also known as tocopherol. Vitamin E consists of eight different E vitamins, such as alpha, beta, gamma, and delta-tocopherol. Alpha-tocopherol is the most absorbable form, and you can find it in food. Like vitamin C, vitamin E is an antioxidant and protects our body against free radicals. Free radicals are aggressive molecules or atoms that can damage the DNA, proteins, and cells in the body. Read more about vitamin E here.

 

Vitamin E: protects our body against harmful substances from outside

Vitamin E is important for the body:

• Vitamin E protects against oxidative damage such as UV radiation and air pollution
• Vitamin E is good for maintaining healthy cells and tissues 
• Vitamin E protects the cells

 

How much Vitamin E per day?

There is no recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin E, but a reference intake of 12 milligrams per day. This is much lower than what is found in most dietary supplements. The safe upper limit is set at 300 milligrams per day. High doses (more than 268 milligrams per day) can have a blood-thinning effect. This is not necessarily dangerous, but it is something to be aware of, especially when using anticoagulants and before undergoing surgery.
