Vitamin e

Vitamin E refers to a family of fat-soluble compounds, with alpha-tocopherol being the main form retained by the human body. It helps limit oxidative reactions within cell membranes.

• Scientific identity: Vitamin E; family: Four tocopherols and four tocotrienols.
• How it works: Absorbed with dietary fat: Supplied esterified as tocopheryl acetate for shelf stability, it is cleaved and taken up with fat. Selected in the liver: A transfer protein preferentially retains alpha-tocopherol and returns it to circulation, which is why that form defines label activity.
• Primary function: It contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and complements other antioxidant nutrients.
• What it supports: Vitamin E helps protect cell membranes from oxidative stress, supporting the normal resilience of skin and other body tissues.
• Important consideration: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

CARPEDIEM selected Vitamin E for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: It contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and complements other antioxidant nutrients.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM Hair Skin Nails, CARPEDIEM MultiTeen and CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and other appropriate CARPEDIEM formulations.
• Works alongside: Vitamin E complements Vitamin C, Selenium and Astaxanthin to support comprehensive daily nutritional support.
• Meaningful contribution: Vitamin E helps protect cell membranes from oxidative stress, supporting the normal resilience of skin and other body tissues. Contributes to the maintenance of normal cellular function throughout the body.
• Quality and scientific context: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake. 1 ingredient-specific study is included because the research reports a relevant benefit.
