Vitakruid Vitamin E Complex 8 tocopherols and -trienolsVitamin E from food
Good sources of vitamin E are mainly vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and kernels. Small amounts can also be obtained from seafood, green leafy vegetables, avocado, and eggs. Dietary supplements are not intended as a substitute for a healthy diet, but can serve as a complement.
A complete vitamin E complex
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for the human body. The vitamin is primarily found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables and cannot be produced by the body itself.
Eight different forms
Vitamin E actually includes eight different forms, namely four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). These eight compounds are most effective when taken together, as they enhance each other's effects. That is why you will find all eight in our Vitamin E Complex.
Tocopherols vs. tocotrienols
Tocotrienols can move through the body faster and more efficiently than tocopherols because they have a shorter and more flexible molecular structure, allowing them to penetrate cell membranes and tissues better. The downside is that tocotrienols are generally less present in food than tocopherols, which can lead to an imbalance in the body.
SupraBio™ bypasses poor absorption of vitamin E
Tocotrienols are generally absorbed less efficiently by the body than tocopherols. For this reason, we have chosen the patented EVNol SupraBio™, a complex of tocotrienols that bypasses the poor absorption of vitamin E.
250% better absorption of vitamin E
SupraBio™ is a self-emulsifying delivery system that ensures vitamin E compounds are reduced in size. This allows our body to better absorb the fat particles in the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, SupraBio™ provides an average of 250% better absorption of tocotrienols. Moreover, absorption is not dependent on fat intake from food.
Natural forms promote absorption
For this Vitamin E Complex, Vitakruid has exclusively chosen natural forms of vitamin E. Natural forms are often indicated with 'd-' as a prefix (for example, d-alpha-tocopherol), while synthetic forms often contain 'dl-' (for example, dl-alpha-tocopherol). Natural forms of vitamin E are better absorbed and have greater biological activity than synthetic forms.
