Vitakruid Vitamin E Complex 8 tocopherols and trienols Vitamin E from food
Good sources of vitamin E are primarily vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and kernels. Small amounts can also be obtained from seafood, green leafy vegetables, avocados, and eggs. Dietary supplements are not intended to replace a healthy diet, but can be used as a supplement.
A complete vitamin E complex
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for the human body. It's primarily found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables and cannot be produced by the body itself.
Eight different shapes
Vitamin E actually comprises eight different forms: 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's why you'll find all eight of them 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 better penetrate cell membranes and tissues. The downside is that tocotrienols are generally less abundant in food than tocopherols, which can cause an imbalance in the body.
SupraBio™ bypasses poor vitamin E absorption
Tocotrienols are generally less well absorbed by the body than tocopherols. For this reason, we opted for the patented EVNol SupraBio™, a tocotrienol complex that circumvents the poor absorption of vitamin E.
250% better absorption of vitamin E
SupraBio™ is a self-emulsifying delivery system that reduces the size of vitamin E compounds. This allows our bodies to better absorb fat particles in the gastrointestinal tract. For example, SupraBio™ provides an average of 250% better absorption of tocotrienols. Moreover, absorption is independent of dietary fat intake.
Natural shapes promote absorption
For this Vitamin E Complex, Vitakruid has chosen only natural forms of vitamin E. Natural forms are often indicated with a "d-" prefix (e.g., d-alpha-tocopherol), while synthetic forms often contain "dl-" (e.g., dl-alpha-tocopherol). Natural forms of vitamin E are better absorbed and have greater biological activity than synthetic forms.
