Reception features

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble substance. In order for it to be absorbed by the body most completely, the presence of fats in the gastrointestinal tract is required. If you take vitamin E before meals, there will be little benefit from such therapy. The body simply will not be able to absorb the drug. In this regard, the best time to consume tocopherol is considered to be the morning, half an hour to an hour after eating .

Another feature of vitamin E therapy is that you take the capsule with clean water and not drinks. The following are prohibited: alcohol, coffee, tea, milk, etc. It is also not advisable to combine tocopherol with other medications. Simultaneous use can affect not only the quality of absorption of vitamin E, but also the effectiveness of the medications taken, both in the direction of increasing it and decreasing it.

Typically, the adult dosage for an adult is 100-400 mg per day. Vitamin E is available in easy-to-take capsule form in various dosages. This allows you to select the most suitable option, with a tocopherol content of 100-200 mg. Release forms in the form of drops and syrup are suitable for children. They are also correct to drink after meals.

Any medications should be taken according to the rules specified in the official instructions for the drug and in accordance with the individual recommendations of the attending physician.

Interaction of Vitamin E with other substances:

For a more beneficial effect of Vitamin E (Tocopherol) on the body, it is recommended to take it together with Selenium Se, and can also be combined with Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)

The resulting deficiency of Vitamin E (Tocopherol) can contribute to a decrease in the level of Magnesium Mg in the body. With Zinc Zn deficiency, the symptoms of Vitamin E deficiency will only worsen

Taking birth control pills may reduce the absorption of Vitamin E

An insufficient amount of Tocopherol can lead to various disorders that will reduce the activity of Vitamin D in the liver, which, in turn, will lead to disturbances in the metabolism of Calcium Ca and Phosphorus P

How to take in capsules

The daily requirement of Vitamin E is about 8-10 IU (international units). If you stick to proper nutrition, you don't have to worry about tocopherol deficiency. But often women are faced with the fact that the body lacks it. Usually, for therapy, it is enough to include foods with a high content of the substance in the menu.

But sometimes more serious measures are required. To understand how to properly take vitamin E capsules, including for weight loss, you should carefully read the instructions.

It is recommended to drink tocopherol during meals. In this case, the capsule itself is not broken into pieces, but goes into the stomach entirely. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that doctors do not recommend taking vitamin E at the same time as complexes, where it is already present. Such careless behavior can lead to an excess of tocopherol.

It should be noted that the effect of vitamin E is enhanced if it is taken simultaneously with certain other substances. For example, with ascorbic acid and selenium.

It is also necessary to say about the dosage of vitamin E. As a rule, it is very difficult to determine the daily dose of the supplement yourself, because it depends on many individual parameters: age, weight, health status. Therefore, in order to achieve effectiveness from taking tocopherol, as well as not harm your health, you should first consult a specialist for advice. It will help determine your individual dosage.

As a rule, for prevention, adults are prescribed tocopherol in the amount of 200 to 400 IU every day. But to lose weight, it’s hardly worth drinking vitamin E in such volumes. It will only slightly help you get rid of excess weight, and only if you follow a diet and exercise at the same time.

Properties of Vitamin E

Tocopherol, like vitamins A and D, is soluble in fats and insoluble in water, resistant to alkalis, acids and high temperatures. And although they claim that thermal effects do not affect it, this statement is erroneous.

Vitamin E is detrimentally affected by oxygen, light, sunlight and chemical oxidizing agents. That is why it is produced in darkened glass containers, and the capsules are usually red in color and must be stored in a cool, dark place.

Alpha tocopherol combines well with vitamin C and selenium, which make up for the low vitamin E content in foods.

Vitamin E is practically not excreted from the body of a healthy person, neither by the kidneys, nor by the intestines, nor by the sweat glands and other secretions. Its amount decreases in tissue cells only with prolonged exposure to the sun.

Tocopherol is non-toxic. But its use increases blood pressure, which can be a good alternative for treating hypotensive patients, and is problematic for hypertensive patients. Therefore, the best option in this case would be to consume vitamin E in food.

In other cases, tocopherol is simply irreplaceable and plays one of the fundamental roles in the human body, namely:

• improves the quality of leukocytes and activates blood circulation
• accelerates restoration processes in tissue cells
• promotes maximum absorption of nutrients,
• prevents oxidation processes in the body and slows down the aging process
• improves immunity, gives energy and cheerfulness,
• improves skin condition, removes age spots
• protects tissue cells from environmental influences, including UV exposure.

And not only vitamin E:

• normalizes the functioning of the endocrine and nervous systems, the functioning of the brain and blood vessels
• ensures normal functioning of the heart muscle
• improves the functioning of the reproductive gonads in both men and women
• prevents the formation of blood clots in blood vessels, cleanses capillaries, arteries, veins from blood clots
• prevents the development of atherosclerosis
• protects against various radiations, including computer radiation.

Tocopherol is also effective in such cases:

• help in the fight against fungal infections
• treatment of various skin diseases:
• severe trophic ulcers, acute thrombophlebitis
• kidney inflammation and diabetic heart attack
• treatment of asthma and diabetes, as well as:
• relieves night muscle cramps caused by poor circulation
• accelerates tissue recovery after burns.

Researchers believe that it is vitamin E that gives a person vitality and attractiveness; it is not for nothing that it is included in the diet of many Hollywood stars.

However, tocopherol, while having a beneficial effect on the general condition of the body, cannot fail to have the desired effect directly on the hair, so the question arises:
