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 in 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.
