Description
Solgar Liquid Vitamin E 59.2ml (sold by Solgar as Natural Source Liquid Vitamin E) is a food supplement that provides natural-source vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol in a safflower oil liquid. It is taken from a dropper, so it suits adults who would rather not swallow a capsule or softgel.
Key Features
- 101mg vitamin E per dose: Each 0.5ml (half a dropper) provides 101mg alpha-TE (150IU) of vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol, which is 842% of the nutrient reference value (NRV).
- Mixed natural tocopherols: Each dose also contains 0.23mg of mixed natural tocopherols (d-beta, d-gamma, d-delta and d-alpha).
- Liquid in a safflower oil base: The vitamin E is supplied in safflower oil, with a dropper for measuring the dose.
- Free from common allergens and additives: The label lists the product as free of gluten, wheat, dairy, soya, yeast, preservatives, sweeteners and artificial flavours or colours.
- 59.2ml bottle: At 0.5ml a day, one bottle holds 118 doses.
What does vitamin E contribute to?
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This is the only authorised nutrition or health claim this page makes for vitamin E.
How does the dose compare with NHS advice?
The NHS says that taking 540mg (800IU) or less of vitamin E supplements a day is unlikely to cause any harm. One 0.5ml dose of this product provides 101mg alpha-TE (150IU), so count any other vitamin E supplements you take towards that daily total.
Is this the same as Solgar's vitamin E softgels?
No. This product is a liquid measured with a dropper, at 0.5ml a day. Solgar's Natural Source Vitamin E softgels and capsules are separate products with their own strengths and directions.
