Clinical Overview
Vitamin E Soft Gel Capsules (200mg, 400mg, 600mg) is an oral fat-soluble antioxidant (d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) on the WHO Model List framework. It integrates into phospholipid cell membranes, where it traps peroxyl free radicals and halts the propagation of lipid peroxidation chain reactions, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids in membranes, red blood cells, and vascular endothelial cells from oxidative injury. Indicated for vitamin E deficiency, supportive management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH), peripheral neuropathy in abetalipoproteinemia, and adjuvant skin/hair health.
