Natural Vitamin E

Natural Vitamin E, from Vitobest®, provides D-Alpha-Tocopherol, the natural form of vitamin E, known for its greater bioavailability, antioxidant effectiveness, and actual utilization in the body compared to its synthetic version (DL-Alpha-Tocopherol)³.

Unlike DL-Alpha-Tocopherol, which is a mixture of isomers with lower biological activity, the D- form is the only biologically active one and is absorbed more efficiently³, generating a real impact on tissues. In addition to being more stable and less acidic, this natural variant guarantees prolonged action and is physiologically compatible with the processes of the human body.

Why choose the natural form (D-Alpha-Tocopherol)?

Not all forms of vitamin E are the same. D-Alpha-Tocopherol is the only one recognized and actively used by the human body¹. It has a biological activity up to twice that of the synthetic form (DL-Alpha-Tocopherol)⁴, which translates into greater effectiveness with the same dose.

Most clinical studies that support the benefits of vitamin E have been conducted with the natural form⁴, further reinforcing its choice.

Key benefits of vitamin E:

• Eye health: it helps to slow down age-related macular degeneration, especially when combined with zinc and copper.
• Antioxidant action: it prevents the oxidation of lipids in cell membranes, stabilizing their structure and function².
• Fertility: it improves sperm motility and facilitates the implantation of the egg in the endometrium.
• Energy production: it participates in cellular respiration, essential for obtaining energy.
• Nervous system: it facilitates the correct transmission of nerve impulses⁵.

Vitobest® uses vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegan diets and free of titanium dioxide for this supplement.

Product statements (claims):

• Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage².
