Description
Vitamin E Capsule USP 400 mg is a nutritional supplement containing Vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a vital role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. It helps neutralize free radicals generated through metabolism, pollution, and UV exposure, thereby contributing to overall cellular health, immune function, and skin vitality. The 400 mg dosage provides a therapeutic level of Vitamin E that may support cardiovascular health, reproductive health, and neurological function.
Vitamin E is essential for maintaining healthy skin, eyes, and immune defenses, and it may aid in slowing age-related cellular damage. These capsules are widely used in dermatology, general wellness, and as supportive therapy in conditions related to oxidative stress, such as chronic inflammation, aging, and certain cardiovascular diseases.
Mechanism of Action:
Vitamin E acts primarily as an antioxidant, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes from peroxidation. It interrupts the chain reaction of lipid oxidation and maintains membrane integrity. It may also modulate enzyme activity and gene expression involved in inflammatory pathways.
Indications:
- Vitamin E deficiency due to malabsorption or poor diet
- Antioxidant support in chronic conditions
- Skin and hair health (dryness, aging, scarring)
- Immune system enhancement
- Supportive therapy in cardiovascular health, neuroprotection, and fertility
