VITAMIN E 10% + SEL ORAL

Composition

Contains per ml:
Vitamin E 100 mg
Sodium selenite 0.5 mg

Description

The predominant action of vitamin E is that of regulating the oxidation processes of the body. This anti-oxidant action links vitamin E with vitamin A metabolism (it is used for the stabilisation of vitamin A in foodstuffs), and with that the unsaturated fatty acids. It prevents or slows down the formation of free radicals and hyper peroxides from poly-saturated fatty acids. The decrease in peroxide formation can be considered as a stabilising effect on cell membranes, containing poly-saturated fatty acids. Selenium is a trace element, reducing tissue peroxides and stimulating immunity response. Interaction with vitamin E is sometimes synergistic and sometimes partially substitutive.
