What does vitamin E do in your body?
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that has a cell-protective function.
How do you know if you have a vitamin E deficiency?
Vitamin E deficiencies are generally uncommon. Only very severe nutrient absorption disorders can lead to a vitamin E deficiency. A severe vitamin E deficiency can lead to anemia, neurological symptoms, and muscle weakness.
These symptoms may be attributed to other deficiencies or problems, so always consult a doctor if you experience them persistently or are concerned.
Which foods contain vitamin E?
Vitamin E is fat-soluble and is therefore found in many fat-rich products, as well as in fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and (whole-grain) cereals. You can find vitamin E in various oils, such as wheat germ oil, hazelnut oil, sunflower oil, nuts, avocados, salmon, kiwis, and spinach.
How much vitamin E should I take?
Your body doesn't produce vitamin E. The recommended daily amount is between 11 and 13 mg, with a maximum daily amount of 300 mg.
Because too much vitamin E can inhibit blood clotting, vitamin E supplements are not recommended for people with a vitamin K deficiency or people taking blood thinners.
A Guud Glow capsule contains 12 mg vitamin E.
How long can I take vitamin E?
Whether and for how long you can take vitamin E depends on your individual needs and personal situation. Ensure you get enough vitamin E from your diet and supplement your diet with a supplement if necessary. Consult a doctor if you suspect a vitamin E deficiency and would like personalized advice.
