Description

TOCO 500mg Vitamin E, also known as “tocopherol”, is an essential soluble and protective vitamin for fatty substances.
Several forms of Vitamin E exist in nature, but alpha-tocopherol is the most active biologically and it is a major antioxidant for the body. However, all tocopherols (beta, delta and gamma) have specific biological activities and functions.

Indication:

The Vitamin E of TOCO 500mg prevents the oxidation of lipids and thus preserves Vitamin A (soluble in fats), in reserve in the body, preventing oxidation with harmful effects for biological processes. The effectiveness of vitamin E is due to the quality of “D-alpha-tocopherol”, a natural, biologically active form of vitamin E. The term DL-alpha-tocopherol refers to a synthetic form of Vitamin E.

Pharmacokinetic properties:

Intestinal absorption of the order of 50% at therapeutic doses. Vitamin E enters the bloodstream through the lymphatic system. In the blood, it is found almost completely linked to beta-lipoproteins.
Vitamin E is distributed in all tissues; it hardly crosses the placental barrier (1/5).
Metabolites of quinone structure (very similar to coenzyme Q) have been found in tissues. 70% of the dose is eliminated by the hepatic route, the rest being transformed mainly into glycuronide and excreted via the renal route.

One capsule daily in the morning at breakfast.
Swallow the capsule as is, with the contents of a glass of water.

Alpha-tocopherol acetate 500mg
