This supplement contains Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) in its natural form. Each softgel provides 268.5 mg, which is equivalent to 400 IU. That is a substantial dose. The softgels are made with olive oil as a carrier, which makes sense for a fat-soluble vitamin. Produced in Germany, gluten-free and lactose-free. One bottle contains 100 softgels, enough for over three months.
Vitamin E actually consists of a whole group of substances. D-alpha-tocopherol is the natural form. There is also a synthetic version, which you can recognize by the designation 'DL-alpha-tocopherol'. LUTO Supplements uses exclusively natural D-alpha-tocopherol in these softgels.
Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Vitamin E is fat-soluble and is found mainly in the cell membranes, which contain fatty acids.
Vitamin E is fat-soluble. LUTO therefore dissolves the vitamin E in olive oil, which is contained in the softgel itself as a carrier. The capsule shell is made of gelatin with glycerin, which makes the softgel soft and easy to swallow.
With 268.5 mg per softgel, or 400 IU, this product is at the upper end of what you will find in vitamin E softgels. The reference intake (RI) for adults is 12 mg per day. One softgel therefore provides over 2200% of that. That may sound overwhelming. It is good to keep an eye on your total intake. Do you already get vitamin E from nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, or a multivitamin? Then it is wise to take that into account. If in doubt, you can always consult a doctor or pharmacist.
These Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) softgels from LUTO Supplements combine a natural form with a practical fat carrier in a simple formula. No unnecessary additives, produced according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and HACCP standards. With 100 softgels per bottle, you will have enough for a long time.
This product exclusively contains the natural D-form of alpha-tocopherol. Your liver selects this form via a specific transport protein and retains it longer in your bloodstream than the synthetic DL-variant.
Each softgel provides 268.5 mg of vitamin E. This dosage is at the higher end of what is common in supplement research (100-400 I.U.). One softgel per day is sufficient.
Vitamin E is fat-soluble. In this softgel, it is dissolved in olive oil, allowing your body to absorb it directly. This means you are less dependent on a fatty meal for good absorption.
The formula is simple: vitamin E, olive oil and a soft gelatin capsule. No artificial colors or preservatives. Produced in Germany in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and HACCP standards.

D-alpha-tocopherol is the natural form of vitamin E. Your body recognizes and retains this variant better than the synthetic version (DL-alpha-tocopherol). This is because your liver has a specific protein, the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein, which selects the natural D-form and keeps it in your bloodstream. The synthetic variant is largely excreted again.
I.U. stands for International Units, a unit used to express the biological activity of fat-soluble vitamins. 400 I.U. of natural vitamin E is equivalent to 268.5 mg of D-alpha-tocopherol. This is a high dosage compared to the reference intake of 12 mg per day. In supplement research, dosages of 100 to 400 I.U. are regularly used.
The best time is during or after a meal. Vitamin E is fat-soluble, so your body absorbs it better when there is fat present in your stomach. This softgel already contains olive oil as a carrier, which supports absorption. But a meal with some fat in it makes it even better.
It is indeed a high dose, well above the reference intake of 12 mg. Nevertheless, doses of 100 to 400 I.U. are commonly used in research. It depends on your personal situation and what you already consume through food or other supplements. Are you already getting vitamin E from nuts, seeds, or vegetable oils? Then it is wise to take that into account. If in doubt, it is best to consult a doctor or pharmacist.
Vitamin E is located in the membranes of your cells, between the fatty acids. Free radicals, unstable particles that arise during normal bodily processes, can damage these fatty acids through a chain reaction. Vitamin E intercepts such a free radical by donating an electron to it. This stops the chain reaction before further damage occurs. It thus acts as a kind of safety net in your cell membrane.
Natural vitamin E is called D-alpha-tocopherol, while the synthetic variant is called DL-alpha-tocopherol. The difference lies in the molecular structure. Your liver has a protein that specifically recognizes and retains the natural D-form. The synthetic DL-variant also contains mirror image forms that your body largely excretes. In practice, this means that more of the natural form of vitamin E actually reaches your cells. This product contains exclusively the natural D-alpha-tocopherol.
