BAKSON'S HOMEOPATHY VITA-E PLUS (5 *10 CAPSULES)

Improves Skin health, reduces premature ageing and has an anti-inflammatory action. Vitamin E Plus also maintains brain health.

What is VITA E PLUS?

Vita E Plus is a nutritional supplement. It contains Omega 3 fatty acid and Vitamin E acetate. It is used primarily to generate energy and stamina in the body and make it stronger especially in case of chronic diseases where the body tends to get bogged down. Vitamin E is present in a manmade form (DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) which is the most active among all tocopherols. Furthermore, Vita E Plus contains DHA and EPA essential fatty acids obtained from deodorized fish oil.

Fish oil supplements are made from fish that have a high-fat content naturally. While fish oil is used to treat a variety of ailments, it has been shown to reduce excessive triglycerides. Triglyceride levels that are too high can increase the risk of developing heart disease. Eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, are two significant omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. DHA and EPA can both improve quality of life by boosting mood and cognitive function, as well as lowering the chance of premature death.

About Omega 3 Fatty Acid + Vitamin E Acetate

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects cells from the harmful effects of free radicals, which are molecules that contribute to the development of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Vitamin E is abundant in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils.

Omega 3 Fatty Acid + Vitamin E Acetate promote general well-being and health by improving muscle quality and stamina. Omega 3 fatty acids significantly bring down inflammation and help in decreasing biological markers of infection, thereby relaxing the body in case of infection or disease. Vitamin E acetate decreases the peroxidation of lipids and helps in controlling blood lipid levels. Together, Vitamin E acetate and Omega 3 fatty acids help in exerting an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect on the body. Thus, Omega 3 Fatty Acid + Vitamin E Acetate is an excellent boost for the overall well-being and energy levels of the body. Omega 3 Fatty Acid + Vitamin E Acetate is also highly beneficial in healing muscle and joint pain, supplementing nutrition in case of chronic diseases, enhancing eye health and promoting mental and physical well-being.

Vita E Plus may be taken with or without food.

Benefits of Vitamin E and Omega 3 Combination

When taken together, vitamin E and omega 3 help you in following ways

1. Improving Skin Texture

Fish oil and vitamin E act together to improve skin health.

• Because omega-3 fatty acids reduce premature ageing and damage to collagen, which is degraded by the sun's damaging rays, they help protect your skin from sun damage.
• Fish oil lipids also have an anti-inflammatory effect on your skin, which can help relieve redness and irritation.
• Vitamin E, like fish oil, protects against UV damage by neutralising harmful free radicals produced due to sun exposure.
• Vitamin E also aids in wound healing.

2. Improving Neurological Function

Taking fish oil and vitamin E can aid in brain health.

• The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are useful for your brain as they form part of the membranes of your brain cells.
• Vitamin E in your brain helps protect these cell membranes because its antioxidant function protects the fat in your cell membrane from hazardous oxidation and damage.
• Adequate quantities of omega-3 fatty acids boost brain function, however, low levels can hinder learning.
• Vitamin E has an effect on cognitive function as well; low levels have been linked to poor memory.

3. Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

Taking fish oil and vitamin E together helps reduce inflammation levels in the body and both assist to fight inflammation.

• Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the production of inflammatory molecules such as eicosanoids thereby preventing inflammation in the body. Having more omega-3 fatty acids in your system reduces overall inflammation.
• Vitamin E reduces inflammation by decreasing the amount of pro-inflammatory substances in your system and its antioxidant action protects cells from damage that might otherwise cause inflammation.
