 YAMAMOTO® RESEARCH
Yamamoto® Research Vitamin E Vitamina E is a fat-soluble vitamin found in many foods and is found in nature in eight chemical forms divided into two main categories: tocopherol (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) and tocotrienol (alpha, beta, gamma and delta), of which alpha-tocopherol is the one synthesised by the human body.
It is the most powerful of the fat-soluble vitamins, and its antioxidant action protects polyunsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids and plasma lipoproteins, preventing damage to cell membranes. This important vitamin is absorbed by the intestinal mucosa, thanks also to the presence of fats included in the diet, and its presence in the intestine also promotes the absorption of other vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin C and those of group B. Vitamin E deteriorates very easily and is very sensitive to cooking, as heat significantly reduces its concentration. In the "modern" diet, over-refined products are depleted of vitamin E, so it is always better to choose foods that are preferably seasonal and/or from organic cultivation. This deficiency, which we may find due to subjective imbalances or the increasingly low micronutrient content of many foods we find in the supermarket, means that we may have a real deficiency, which could lead to related problems of various kinds, since it is involved in various physiological mechanisms in our bodies. Vitamin E acts mainly as a powerful antioxidant in the body, protecting us against damage caused by free radicals and food toxins, pollution and UV rays, which can damage cell membranes made up of fatty acids and lead to degenerative diseases. A vitamin that thus counteracts the effects of cellular ageing, its antioxidant power protects eyesight from damage caused by ageing, particularly macular degeneration of the retina (typical of elderly people) and the formation of cataracts, where it is thought that oxidative stress may play an important role. For this reason, its supplementation has been shown in studies to be very useful in preventing macular degeneration. It also has an anti-inflammatory and immune system-boosting effect, counteracting the formation of nitrosamines (carcinogenic substances formed in the stomach from nitrites in food). Several interesting studies have shown that vitamin E has protective properties for the cardiovascular system, where it is thought to inhibit the oxidation of the 'bad' LDL cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis by inhibiting platelet aggregation and thus the formation of blood clots, and to have an effective vasodilating effect (for which it is also indicated in hypertensive patients). It has recently emerged that vitamin E has a neuroprotective action against oxidative stress, delaying cognitive decline and preventing the onset of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Its action on the skin is extremely important, and it is also used in creams in the dermocosmetic field in anti-wrinkle, moisturising and soothing products for irritated, dry, reddened and dehydrated skin. Vitamin E's antioxidant action nourishes and protects the skin from the action of free radicals, which are the main culprits of skin ageing and cellular damage, but also prevents damage from excessive UV exposure. It has long been commonly used in the fields of gynaecology and male infertility. For women it helps to balance the menstrual cycle and significantly reduces the risk of miscarriage. In the menopausal phase it helps to improve unpleasant complaints such as hot flushes and headaches. For men, on the other hand, its antioxidant action is important, as it protects spermatozoa by combating the free radicals responsible for DNA damage in spermatozoa. Directions: take 4 drops once a day.
