Vitamin E protects every cell in the body from ‘free radicals’ through its antioxidant properties and this protective role has put vitamin E at the centre of worldwide research. Studies indicate that it may help maintain the health of the heart by protecting polyunsaturated fats in the body from being oxidised into saturated fats and so protect all membranes including those in the lungs and blood vessels.
Lamberts® supplies vitamin E in its natural form of d-alpha tocopherol, as
this is the form in which it occurs in foods and as research has confirmed
that it has a higher biological activity, and is absorbed and retained more readily by the body than synthetic vitamin E. It is standardised on
d-alpha tocopherol but other tocopherols are present.
The cheaper synthetic form is called dl-alpha tocopherol and is the form most commonly found in many of the ‘high street’ single vitamin E products.
Directions: 1 to 2 capsules daily.
Cautions: Hypertensive persons supplementing with Vitamin E should commence on a low amount of iu. and gradually increase the amount under practitioner’s supervision. Those using prescription blood-thinning medication (anticoagulants) or aspirin should consult their doctor before using Vitamin E supplements.
