Hi guys I have watched an interview with Maret G. Traber, Ph.D, professor of Nutrition LPI Principal Investigator recently. I came to know about a lot of interesting facts about Vitamin E capsules. let me share some pieces of information with you guys.
Vitamin E capsule
Vitamin E is a family of eight fat-soluble antioxidants, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols, but only one of those eight is useful for humans—alpha-tocopherol. This is commonly called vitamin E on supplement labels.
Q.Does topical vitamin E improve skin appearance?
A: Most skin creams actually contain vitamin E. It’s listed on the label as alpha-tocopheryl acetate. This form of vitamin E is useful because it doesn’t get oxidized. That’s actually good because the alpha-tocopheryl acetate can penetrate through the skin surface and get to the living cells. About 5% of the amount that's smeared on the skin is actually converted to the free tocopherol once it’s inside those deep skin cells and provides beneficial antioxidant effects.
Q: Are there other side effects of very large intakes of vitamin E? Is vitamin E toxic at high doses?
A: Bleeding is the only side effect that the Food and Nutrition Board could find. I think it should be noted that there aren’t any studies in humans that demonstrate adverse effects of vitamin E, possibly because the studies are not of sufficient size, length, or control.
Q: Is 200 IU of d-alpha-tocopherol a reasonable amount to take?
A: Synthetic vitamin E is cheaper than d-alpha-tocopherol, or natural source vitamin E, but only half as effective. The body is clever enough to figure out the one it wants. It’s really a wash. If you want to get 200 IU of natural vitamin E, you can buy 400 IU supplements of synthetic vitamin E at maybe half the cost of 200 IU natural vitamin E.

Well guys, Vitamin E is often used to promote smooth, hydrated skin, it can help soothe burns, and it even be smoothed onto stretch marks and scars to diminish their appearance. But you don't have to buy vitamin E oil to take advantage of its many uses. Instead, make your own using vitamin E capsules from the health food store, and a little olive oil. Use vitamin E oil daily to smooth your skin and keep it looking healthy and young. It may be a better treatment than pricey department store antiaging creams.
Step 1
Remove three vitamin E capsules from the vitamin bottle, and lay them on a paper towel. Use a needle to poke a small hole in each capsule, and squeeze the oil into a small jar until only the skin of the capsule is left. Stir in 1 tsp. of olive oil to make the the vitamin E more pliable when you apply it to your skin.
Step 2
Dab the vitamin E oil gently around your eyes, forehead and mouth to prevent and improve facial wrinkles. The University of Maryland Medical Center notes that pure vitamin E can help decrease facial roughness found in wrinkles and fine lines.
Step 3
Poke a hole in a few more vitamin E capsules to make enough to apply to large patches of your body, like on stretch marks or large scars. For every three capsules, remember to add 1 tsp. of olive oil, or the vitamin E may become sticky. Rub into scars at least once daily with your fingers.
Step 4
Use your vitamin E oil from the capsules on sunburns or after visiting the beach. It can help replenish the moisture that your skin loses from being out in the hot sun, and can provide soothing relief from painful burns. Try placing your vitamin E capsules in the refrigerator before you puncture them before added cooling relief.
Step 5
Apply vitamin E directly from the punctured capsule onto the skin if you suffer from extremely dry skin, eczema or psoriasis. The pure vitamin E oil can help to hydrate the skin, and you won't need to use expensive or synthetic moisturizing products.

it's nice watching it
