Solgar Vitamin E 134mg (200IU) 250 Softgels is a natural-source vitamin E food supplement for adults, supplied as gelatin softgels. Each softgel provides 134 mg α-TE (200 IU) of vitamin E as D-alpha tocopherol, with mixed tocopherols, in a 250 softgel pack.

Key Features

• 134 mg α-TE (200 IU) per softgel: One softgel provides 1117% of the vitamin E nutrient reference value.
• Natural-source tocopherols: The vitamin E is D-alpha tocopherol, alongside 9 mg of mixed tocopherols (D-beta, D-gamma, D-delta and D-alpha).
• Gelatin softgel shell: The shell contains gelatin from bovine, so it is an animal-derived product.
• One softgel a day: The label directs one softgel daily, preferably at mealtime.
• Protects cells from oxidative stress: Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

How does 134 mg of vitamin E compare with the amount I need?

The NHS says adults need 4 mg of vitamin E a day for men and 3 mg for women, and that most people can get this from a varied, balanced diet. One softgel provides 134 mg, well above that amount. The upper amount the NHS gives is covered in the Warnings section.

Is this suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

No. The softgel shell is made with gelatin from bovine. Solgar also sells a 134 mg (200 IU) vitamin E vegetable softgel, which has a plant-based shell and is listed as vegan and vegetarian.

How long does a 250 softgel pack last?

At the label dose of one softgel a day, 250 softgels last 250 days.

Please read these precautions before use:

• Do not exceed the directions for use. The NHS says that taking 540 mg (800 IU) or less a day of vitamin E supplements is unlikely to cause harm, and advises against taking too much.
• The label directions are for adults only.
• Food supplements should not be used instead of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
