NOW's 100% natural E-400 contains 400 IU of non-esterified D-alpha tocopherol enhancing the good health of the cardiovascular and immune system, as well as the ligaments and skin, through its antioxidant action.
The synthetic form of alpha-tocopherol is absorbed but not all to the same extent. About half of the synthetic form remains in the blood plasma, while the rest is excreted by the body. For this reason, its natural form is twice as active as the corresponding synthetic one.
Vitamin E's usefulness for all types of cells is given. It particularly protects the cell membranes of blood cells, the nervous system, skeletal muscles, and the retinal pigment epithelium of the eye from the negative effects of free radicals.
Research studies confirm that intense physical exercise increases the production of free radicals, so the intake of the vitamin E supplement strengthens the body, thus reducing oxidative stress.
This preparation is fortified with 100 micrograms of selenium. Selenium is incorporated into proteins to create selenoproteins, which are important antioxidant enzymes. The antioxidant properties of selenoprotein help prevent cell damage from free radicals.
