Ambrosial Vitamin E Capsules for Skin & Face 400 IU – Natural Oil, Highly Absorbable, Hair Skin & Nail Supplement for Women & Men (60 Softgels)

Good

I have several issues with this product:❌️The sales listing does not include the full list of ingredients.❌️The sales listing video shows small golden coloured softgels whereas the capsules are very large and bright green.❌️The packaging notes that the product contains a permissible natural food colouring but did not state what it is (pretty sure that's not legal in the UK and EU).❌️The ingredients listing does not follow the UK and EU labelling law for allergens - the product contains soya lecithin but soya is not highlighted in bold or capitalised text and no allergens are noted below the ingredients list. Legally it should read 'Allergens: SOYA' or 'Contains: SOYA'.❌️Not suitable for vegetarians/vegans as the capsule is made from gelatin. There is no mention whether this is porcine or bovine.❌️Contains sorbitol. No idea why a capsule of oil that you swallow needs to be sweetened. That's rather unusual. Sorbitol is a gut disruptor. There is also no warning that excessive consumption can cause laxative effects as there should be with anything containing sorbitol.❌️Contains E320 aka butylated hydroxyanisole as a preservative. There are several medical studies documenting safety concerns over endocrine disruption by this preservative. Personally, I'm not happy to put anything containing E320 in my body.❌️This product does not offer value for money there are much better offerings on the market for less money with a better standard of ingredients.

Vitamin E is one of those supplements that can be easily overlooked and yet it has a vital effect on the system. Few people realise that this form of E, which is in its most natural form in this product, can have a dramatic effect on blocked arteries, veins and blood flow in the legs. Nothing can unblock a calcified artery apart from surgery, but Vitamin E can help smooth the material wall. More and more evidence is showing that vitamin E can support blood flow in the arteries and a reduction in increases of malondialdehyde (MDA - a reactive carbonyl compound and a well-established marker of oxidative stress). So E can actually help blood flow, heart health, veins and of course can help against strokes. I take two tablets a day after having a blood flow issue and it has helped tremendously. The only thing I do not like about this product is the fact that it's green in colour. Every E tablet I have ever taken is yellow. To get a full effect from E you need it in high doses. I take 2 a day, but if you have serious issues with the arterial wall or calcified arteries you may need as many as 4 tablets spread out throughout the day.I am happy to recommend this high-strength product.

These are really good thank you

I’ve always been a fan of supplements and take quite a few different ones. I’m not really that keen on the multivitamins and prefer to get individual supplements so that I can get the dose that I want. It’s a little bit more expensive that way, but you end up with a better product that you can tailor to your own needs. I’ve got this to give my skin and nails a boost and also give it to my daughter also. I’m taking it for a while now and you can see the benefits in that my skin feels much healthier with an improved complexion with my daughter, her hair is very sleek and shiny, and her nails are really nice and strong. The soft gels are very easy to swallow with water and there’s no nasty aftertaste or anything like that repeating on you.

They are green…reminded me of kryptonite from the original superman movie ..showing my age there …anyhoo, they are small oblong shaped, super easy to take, but the capsule is made from gelatin, which doesn’t bother me personally, but I understand isn’t good for vegetarians or vegans.60 capsules, the pack I got has a 16 month shelf life ( you get manufacturer dates now instead of BBE) and it’s a two year shelf life from date of manufacture.I’m happy with this addition my supplements and must be doing something right as blood test for hubs comes back excellent.

-and that includes -green colouring and preservative -totally unnecessary . Won’t buy again. Ingredients detail is incorrect as does not show five other chemicals that make up this capsule.

The most standout feature of these Ambrosial Vitamin E Capsules for Face 400 IU is the green colour of the capsule (thanks to added colouring) which makes a bit of a change from the normal golden colour of Vit E supplements. They don't taste any different (or of anything) and you'd wonder why they need to be green, unless it's to disguise the pale colour of the oil inside which is often a sign of lower quality.I'm also not sure why they're branded as being 'for Face' because your digestive system won't know that, but it's true that Vit E is supposed to help slow the ageing process and help stave off wrinkles. All I know is that it helps keep my energy and stamina levels up and I usually feel a bit more dynamic when taking it regularly. The 400iu dosage of these capsules is a good mid-level daily amount for an active adult but you could take two per day if you're training or need the boost. I don't love the green colouring but in other respects it's a decent supplement at a decent price.
