Two. What is vitamin E?

Vitamin E is an essential vitamin. The vitamin protects the body from free radicals. The antioxidant effect of vitamin E protects the organism from oxidative stress and intruders that can damage the skin. Vitamin E regulates the moisture content of the skin, strengthens hair growth and ensures that wounds can heal faster.

3. vitamin E for healthy skin

Vitamin E helps to tighten the skin and ensures a healthy and fresh appearance. As a strong antioxidant, vitamin E protects the human organism from attacks by free radicals. These would otherwise destroy cell membranes, proteins and skin lipids. Without vitamin E, the skin would be wrinkled and weakened. In addition to the skin, vitamin E ensures healthy hair growth. By accelerating hair growth, the hair becomes stronger and more manageable.

4. the daily requirement of vitamin E

The German Society for Nutrition (DGE) recommends a daily dose of
12-15 mg vitamin E for adults. For small children, the recommended amounts of vitamin E are lower. However, the daily dose increases if you do a lot of sport and are very active. The recommended daily intake of vitamin E for pregnant and breastfeeding women is about 17 mg. In general, the daily vitamin E intake depends on many different factors: Age, sex, weight, height and metabolic situation.

5. conclusion: occurrence of vitamin E in food

Especially good sources of vitamin E are vegetable oils. Since the body cannot produce vitamin E itself, vitamin E should be taken in daily through a healthy and balanced diet. Vitamin E is important for the skin, hair and wound healing. Anyone who does not consume enough vitamin E risks a vitamin E deficiency. In order to avoid this, taking vitamin E in the form of dietary supplements is suitable.
