When people commonly refer to Vitamin E, they actually mean several fat-soluble, heat-resistant substances with antioxidant effects, also known as tocopherols. The name tocopherol comes from the Greek words for birth (tokos) and to bear (phero). It can only be formed by the photosynthesis of plants and certain bacteria. Accordingly, tocopherol is particularly concentrated in vegetable oils, such as wheat germ oil, sunflower seed oil, or olive oil, but also in nuts, almonds, and leafy greens. Tocopherol has an antioxidant effect, meaning it acts as a scavenger of radicals and thus strengthens the heart and circulatory system, muscles, nerve cells, and especially the skin; in short, it contributes significantly to cell health.
In addition, tocopherol increases blood flow by reducing leukocyte adhesion while simultaneously dilating blood vessels. Even though our human body cannot produce vitamin E itself, we store our tocopherol reserves quite effectively in the liver and adipose tissue and can thus noticeably improve our well-being – especially when we often feel irritable, tired, and unfocused.
Avoid Tocopherol Deficiency
A balanced, natural diet with vegetables, vegetable oils, and nuts is the basis for ensuring the daily requirement of 10-20mg of tocopherol per day. However, due to the stressful everyday life, this balanced lifestyle is not or only partially feasible for many. Thus, only about half of the German population achieves the daily recommended tocopherol intake. Therefore, it can be useful to buy products with tocopherol.
