Please note: the capsules are not completely filled. This is characteristic of this product and contains the composition as stated.

Vitamin E-8 is unique in its kind and consists, as the name suggests, of all 8 forms of vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols). A complete, balanced vitamin E complex of superior quality. For this product, raw materials have been selected that are excellently absorbable and guaranteed to meet the highest requirements in terms of purity. In addition, the vitamin E oil is not in a softgel of bovine gelatin, but in a special vegan liquid capsule.

Tocopherols and tocotrienols
Vitamin E is an essential, fat-soluble nutrient that consists of a family of four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). Tocotrienols differ from tocopherols in that the former have unsaturated side chains with three double bonds. Tocopherols have saturated side chains without double bonds. In food, vitamin E occurs in all eight of these forms. However, only alpha-tocopherol is usually used in food supplements. There is increasing evidence that other forms of vitamin E (such as gamma-tocopherol and tocotrienols) also play an important role in maintaining good health and have a synergistic effect with each other. This unique vitamin E complex has therefore been developed based on the most recent scientific insights.

Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E
Synthetic forms of vitamin E (including dl-alpha-tocopherol, or all-rac-alpha-tocopherol) are also sometimes used in dietary supplements, but these are less effective than the natural forms. It is therefore important to choose a dietary supplement that contains only natural forms of vitamin E, recognizable by the prefix 'd-' (as in
d-alpha-tocopherol) or 'RRR-' (as in RRR-alpha-tocopherol). Vitamin E-8 contains only natural forms of vitamin E.

Operation
The main function of vitamin E in the body is to help protect cells and tissues from oxidative damage. Nowadays, people are exposed to many unwanted external influences (such as excessive UV radiation from sunlight and environmental pollution). The immune system of the cells therefore needs some support. Vitamin E contributes to the maintenance of healthy cells and tissues by removing free radicals.

Special vegan liquid capsule
A liquid capsule is a special variant of the standard vegetable capsule. Through a specially developed production process, the two halves of the capsule are glued together with a cellulose gel after filling with the active substance, so that this capsule variant is also suitable for containing liquid ingredients. With a standard vegetable capsule, the two halves are pushed together loosely, so that it can only contain ingredients in powder form. In combination with liquids, this capsule would leak. The big advantage of using these liquid capsules compared to gelatin softgels is that the supplement is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
