Vitamin E is the mother of all antioxidants

Vitamin E is one of the fat-soluble vitamins and since 1986, it is regarded as an essential nutrient, although it is already known as a food component since the twenties. Only plants are able to synthesise vitamin E themselves. However, animal-based foods can contribute to meeting the daily requirement, because the vitamin enters the animal food chain and occurs in all cell membranes.

Resorption of vitamin E

Vitamin E is resorbed in the duodenum, the upper small bowel and is always coupled with the fat digestion (fat-soluble vitamin). Medium-chain fatty acids are able to increase the absorption rate, whereas polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well as oxidised, rancid fats, laxatives and resorption dysfunctions in the intestines decrease the absorption rate.

Vitamin E as an antioxidant

In the human body, vitamin E is involved in the metabolism of the skin and muscles. Furthermore, it has strong cell-protective properties. Vitamin E is able to protect cells and tissues against free radicals, which are highly reactive substances. They are intermediates that can from in every normal cellular metabolism. If they are not neutralised in time, they form compounds with cellular compounds or the cell membrane.

Vitamin E for the skin

Vitamin E is also known as the so-called “beauty vitamin”, because of its beneficial properties for the skin and tissues, and supports a fresh, youthful appearance.
