How to choose your vitamin E

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells against undesirable oxidation. As it is fat-soluble, it should be taken with a meal containing some fat.

1. Natural or synthetic

The label distinguishes them: d-alpha-tocopherolis the natural form and dl-alpha-tocopherolis the synthetic one. There are also formulas containing a mixture of tocopherols and tocotrienols, the other members of the family.

2. IU and milligrams

Both units appear on labels and are not equivalent between forms: for natural, 1 mg corresponds to approximately 1.5 IU, and for synthetic, to approximately 2.2 IU. Compare using the milligrams in the nutritional table.

3. Dosage and precautions

The recommended limit for adults is 300 mg per dayof alpha-tocopherol, from all sources combined. High doses have a known interaction with anticoagulants: if you take this type of medication or are going to have surgery, speak with your doctor.

Perguntas frequentes

Para que contribui a vitamina E?
A vitamina E contribui para a proteção das células contra as oxidações indesejáveis. É uma vitamina lipossolúvel, pelo que se toma com uma refeição que tenha alguma gordura.
O que significam d-alfa e dl-alfa no rótulo?
Indicam a origem: d-alfa-tocoferol é a forma natural e dl-alfa-tocoferol é a sintética. Algumas fórmulas trazem ainda uma mistura de tocoferóis e tocotrienóis, que são os outros membros da família da vitamina E.
UI ou miligramas?
Os rótulos usam as duas unidades. Na forma natural, 1 mg de alfa-tocoferol corresponde a cerca de 1,5 UI, e na sintética a cerca de 2,2 UI. Por isso, 400 UI não correspondem à mesma quantidade nas duas formas: compare sempre os miligramas da tabela nutricional.
Há cuidados a ter com a vitamina E?
Sim. O limite recomendado para adultos é de 300 mg por dia de alfa-tocoferol, somando todas as fontes, e as doses altas têm interação descrita com anticoagulantes. Se toma esse tipo de medicação ou vai ser operado, fale com o seu médico antes de começar.
