Discover the benefits of antioxidant vitamin E and why you should consider taking it as a supplement.
We have compiled all the information about this vitamin especially for you.
What is vitamin E?
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and a powerful antioxidant. It occurs naturally in food and can therefore be absorbed through the diet.
Nowadays, however, we absorb fewer vitamins from fruit and vegetables, which means that supplements can be a good addition to our diet.
A course of vitamin E can therefore be useful to give your body extra support.
After reading this article, do you think you may have a deficiency? If so, please contact your GP. A doctor can determine this by means of a blood test. Athletes often have a greater need for vitamin E.

Insufficient vitamin E
A deficiency of vitamin E can lead to anaemia.
Athletes who train at a high level sometimes have an increased need for vitamin E because they demand more from their bodies. For them, a supplement can certainly be a good support.
Too much vitamin E
An excess of vitamin E rarely occurs, unless an excessive dose is taken over a long period of time.
Do not simply start experimenting with vitamins. Always seek advice before taking supplements.
