Product name : Vitamin E Oil

Specification : alpha-tocopherol

Characteristics and Application :

Vitamin E is said to have powerful effects on cellular functions by acting as an antioxidant and thus protecting cells from free radicals.vitamin E  is a fat soluble vitamin.
 
One example of this is how Vitamin E works to protect our skin from the UVB rays of the sun. Further, foods that are rich in Vitamin E can pass right through the cellular membranes of the skin and offer protection. Because of this, many supplement manufacturers are making Vitamin E Oil and topical ointments. These can be placed directly on the skin for protection or for antioxidant benefits.

Vitamin E oil has as its main ingredient alpha-tocopherol which in its natural state is a powdered substance. This powder is then mixed with an oil carrier to create the Vitamin E oil. Many Vitamin E oils are manufactured directly from oils such as soya, canola, or corn through a distillation process. The oil itself is a heavy texture and very thick. The shelf life of Vitamin E oil is approximately three years. If it is exposed to air, it has a reaction with oxygen that renders it unusable. Being exposed to severe heat conditions has the same effect. Given this, Vitamin E oil needs storage conditions that will protect it from both of these elements.

You can obtain your RDA of Vitamin E through the use of Vitamin E oil. Many vitamin producers of Vitamin E will add elements such as glycerides to the oil and the Vitamin E content will be around 18-20%. The IU content of the oil is going to vary from one manufacturer to another, depending on what source the Vitamin E tocopherol is taken from.
Vitamin E oil is sold in gel capsule form and you are advised to check the label for its RDA before you decide to use the oil as your intake of Vitamin E. To use the oil, break open the capsule, and apply the oil topically to your preferred area.
