Organic Vitamin E And VitalitySubmitted By: Vita Man
Vitamin E: What is it? Eight molecules known as tocopherols are the
components that make Vitamin E. The most biologically active amongst them are
Alpha-Tocoperols and these molecules are indeed the most efficient in terms of
the benefits they bring to the body. Our body can absorb it with ease as it is
fat soluble. It is also more stable and does not evaporates even when foods in
which it is found is cooked. The U.S. FAD (Recommended Daily Allowance) for
Vitamin E is set at 8-10 milligrams per day (or about 15 IU) whilst certain
experts advocate an intake of upwards of 1,000 milligrams for daily intake. (Dr
William Shute for example, in The Complete Book of Vitamins recommends 800 to
1600 IU as a way to prevent devastating vascular damage and arterial
degeneration in diabetes. Vitamin E: What is it for? VitaminE is an active
player in the prevention of cell damage that often times can lead to
cardiovascular disease and even cancer. It does so by preventing damaging
effects of free radicals. A new survey from Yale University shows that Low
levels of Vitamin E are thought to be linked with greater physical decline in
older people. Vitamin E and Diabetes: Vitamin E as a treatment for diabetes has
been found in a research lead by Swedish scientists. They recommend a daily
intake of vitamin E of 200 IU spamming 2 weekly periods. The study showed that
vitamin E can help decrease the requirements of insulin in patients suffering
from diabetes. Breast Cancer and Vitamin E: In spite of radical advancements in
various therapies, more women than ever are now being diagnosed with Breast
Cancer. One method considered as a means to reduce the risk of developing this
disease is the intake in proper form of vitamin E. This approach is supported by
a study which shows that women with low levels of vitamin E are twice more
likely to contract the disease than women who take the minimum daily
requirement. The good news is that some of the food we eat is indeed a good
source of vitamin E There two classes of Vitamin E: Tocopherol, the form usually
found in supplementsTocotrienol, found in food. For example palm oil . Foods
rich in Vitamin E are: Oils: vegetable oils such as sunflower, palm oil,
soybean, corn, and of course olive oil. Good sources of vitamin e are margarine,
egg yolk, cheddar, parmesan, soya beans, chickpeas, olives, avocados, parsnips,
carrots, tomatoes, red peppers, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, and watercress.
Other sources can be found in goats milk, fish, whole grains,cereal germ and
wheat, whole grain products,oatmeal, fruits, peanut butter, milk, vegetables and
all whole raw or sprouted seeds. Whilst it is always better to try in provide
your body with the "real thing" it is important to remember that there are
organic nutritional supplements, which are a good source of the vitamin E not
found in your foods. Vitamin E supplements and all Dietary supplements are
measured in international units (IU) . So where does the world "Vitamin come
from" anyway? In 1887, Dr. Eijkman was in Indonesia to conduct research on the
beriberi disease. He realized that there was a difference between the
consumption of refined rice (which lead to more cases of the disease) as opposed
to crudely milled rice (which did not). Years later(1911), Dr. Cacimir referred
to his colleagues findings as "vita amine" to describe the compound that
constitute the rice in its un-refined nature. Over time the two words were
joined as "vitamine" and eventually the trailing "e" was removed.
