What is tocopherol (vitamin E)?
Vitamin E occurs in eight different forms - consisting of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Of these, alpha-tocopherol is the best-researched and most biologically active form, which the body prefers to absorb and store.
Plants produce vitamin E as a natural protection against free radicals by storing it specifically in those cell structures that are particularly susceptible to harmful environmental influences.
Vitamin E: Occurrence and absorption
Vitamin E is mainly found in foods rich in fat, which contribute significantly to the natural supply of E vitamins in our body.
It is found in a wide variety of foods, including
Vegetable oils (e.g. wheat germ, sunflower and safflower oil)
Nuts and seeds (such as almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds)
Green leafy vegetables (e.g. spinach and broccoli)
Avocados
Wholemeal products
As vitamin E is fat-soluble, the body can only absorb it together with fats - which is why a balanced diet with valuable oils is essential for an optimal supply.
Tocopherol: effects and functions in the body
As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E can help to ward off free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that can damage other molecules by reacting with them. Antioxidants such as vitamin E neutralize these radicals by reacting with them, preventing them from causing damage to the cell.
Vitamin E plays a key role in interrupting the chain reaction of lipid peroxidation, a process that can endanger cell membranes.
This makes tocopherolsan essential part of a balanced diet and an important element in skin care.
