Many of them harmful influence skin and hair, causing deterioration in appearance and also structure and food, as a result hair lose vital force, and head skin begins to itch. To recover hair and skin of head, women are used various masks, shampoos and other means which are designed to protect hair and also to strengthen them. Today we will tell about what role in our organism is won back by vitamin E in what products contains what oily solution and capsules and as far as it is useful to women is applied to.
Value of vitamin E for an organism
For a start we will deal with what represents vitamin E, what its advantage for an organism and what it influences.
It is no secret that daily together with food we consume any given vitamins which help an organism to function normally. We not always think of what real advantage they give as far as their presence is important for optimum activity.
Vitamin E represents antioxidant which has the rejuvenating effect on cages of all organism. Prevention of aging is based that tocopherol (second name of vitamin) acts as the protectionist for organism cages, protecting them from free radicals (unstable molecules or atoms).
Also tocopherol improves protective functions of an organism, well influencing the immune system. It improves work of sexual and endocrine glands, preventing appearance of impotence and premature birth.
Tocopherol is necessary for people who live in the polluted areas. Together with vitamin A, tocopherol helps to protect lungs from dirty air. Also tocopherol accelerates regeneration of fabrics that leads to fast healing of burns, small wounds and scratches.
Important! Tocopherol is acquired in an organism only provided that it gets into intestines together with fats or bile.
About advantage of tocopherol for head skin and hair
Broad application in cosmetology of vitamin E is caused first of all by the fact that it practically never causes an allergy, and its surplus in an organism does not break functioning of bodies and the systems of bodies. Also tocopherol is not toxic for our organism, however at people who have problems with an endocrine system (hormonal), there can be a negative reaction to a vitamin surplus. Tocopherol is used everywhere in cosmetology for the reason that it well moisturizes head skin, interfering with appearance of dandruff. Also vitamin E accelerates healing of microwounds which are regularly formed on skin. Thus, appearance of hypodermic pimples and microabscesses is minimized.
Also tocopherol normalizes production of secretion sebaceous glands. Sweating process is as a result normalized that is very important for dry or oily skin of the head. In parallel it improves a skin nourishment as inflow of the blood rich with oxygen increases.
To understand as far as this vitamin is important for hair, It is necessary to tell that the lack of tocopherol causes a mass hair loss therefore high temples or baldness can appear only.
Let's begin with the fact that tocopherol is capable to restore the damaged bulbs which let grow new hairs. Also it is capable to accelerate growth of hair that is connected with improvement of food hairpin a follicle.
Whether you know? Tocopherol is translated from Greek as bringing posterity. Vitamin was called so for the reason that it affects fertility of animals and people. Such discovery was made by scientists in 1922.
Tocopherol protects not only cages of an organism from influence of the external environment, but also hair. If you constantly use various varnishes, level hair, daily face vagaries of the weather (wind, a frost, the increased or lowered humidity, ultraviolet), then your hair strongly suffer, begin to become colourless, split, break and drop out. Tocopherol helps to restore keratin surfaces which hair and nails are and also to humidify them that prevents drying of hair and also reduces their fragility.
Where to take vitamin
To make a mask for hair or head skin with vitamin E in house conditions, it is necessary to learn what products contain tocopherol, or to address pharmaceutical medicines. Therefore further we will talk about where to find available vitamin E.
Products sources
Vitamin can be much or a little therefore it is important to know how many tocopherol needs to be consumed in day to cover norm. Standard daily rate for the adult are 180-200 mg (or ME) in day.
Vitamin E contains also in nuts, broccoli, a dogrose, a sea-buckthorn.
We pass to products which contain the maximum quantity of antioxidant.
- Oil from wheaten germs. In 100 g of a product 300 mg of tocopherol contain that is 1.5 times more than standard daily rate.
- Soy oil — 170 mg.
- Cottonseed oil — 100 mg.
- Sunflower oil — 75 mg.
From above-mentioned oils it is possible to allocate sunflower and cotton as it is rather simple to find them, and the price of products allows to use regularly them in the food and cosmetic purposes.
Further we will list products in which it is less tocopherol, however they differ in existence of a large amount of other useful substances.
- Almonds — 25 mg on 100 g of products.
- Filbert — 20.5 mg.
- Peanut — 10.1 mg.
- Corn — 10 mg.
As it is in pure form very difficult to use oils, in view of unpleasant taste and also possible negative reactions from a GIT, it is possible to fill vitamin E reserves by means of nuts and corn. These products can be used as for having a snack, and to consume together with sweet dishes.
It should be noted that it is better to use oils for creation of various masks which are applied on hair and head skin, and it is better to consume products in which it is much less vitamin E in food to protect an organism at the cellular level.
Pharmaceutical medicines
Oil solution of vitamin E. Similar means is on sale both in drugstores, and in sports shops. A trade name — Alpha tocopherol acetate. Is issued in three options: 50 mg, 100 mg, 300 mg of vitamin E on 1 ml. Represents mix of pure tocopherol and sunflower oil. It can be applied both outwardly, and internally.
Above we wrote that tocopherol is normally acquired by an organism only if it arrives together with fats. For this reason medicine has a fat basis.
It should be noted that such medicine has very low price. Even with the maximum concentration in 300 ME, the price seldom exceeds $2 (it is about pharmaceutical small bottles of small volume).
Capsules. Vitamin E for hair, skin and also the general rejuvenation of an organism it is possible to buy in capsules which it is more convenient to those that you do not need to calculate a necessary dose as each capsule has the adjusted tocopherol content. Capsules with such concentration of vitamin are issued: 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg. Also there are following excipients: sunflower oil, gelatin, glycerin, dyes. Medicines, most often, are called just Vitamin E, however can be on sale also under other trademarks. The price of similar medicines rather high, especially, if they are import. For example, 50 tablets on 100 ME will cost you at least $8 if they were manufactured in the USA. Domestic medicines cost twice cheaper, however their price is anyway higher, than oil solution.
Important! Before purchase surely read the list of auxiliary components if you have an allergy to any medicines.
It is worth knowing that there is an option in tablets, however it not strongly differs from capsules. Tablets with tocopherol are registered in case you have problems with a stomach (gastritis, microulcers, ulcers) as the tablet is longer dissolved in a stomach, than a thin gelatinous cover. Tablets are not popular and for the reason that they cannot be used for preparation of various cosmetics in house conditions, unlike capsules.
Use of vitamin E for hair
Further we will tell about what means on the basis of tocopherol which help to improve a condition of head skin and a hair exist. Let's tell about the best folk remedies with vitamin E.
Learn for what such vitamins as vitamin F, an omega-3, selenium, methionine, bioflavonoids, lipoic acid, fillokhinon, cholecalciferol, pangamovy acid, metoksantin, orotovy acid, cyanocobalamine, a left carnitine are necessary
Purchased cosmetics
It is not possible to describe all means which part vitamin E is in view of their huge number therefore we will tell you how to find tocopherol among difficult names as a part of means.
There are 8 options (molecules) of vitamin E which are used in cosmetology, namely:
- alpha tocopherol;
- beta tocopherol;
- gamma T;
- delta T;
- alpha tokotriyenol;
- beta tokotriyenol;
- gamma t - nol;
- delta t - nol.
This connection can be received in the natural way or synthetic what the prefix before a word indicates. If tocopherol was received naturally, then there is a prefix of d if synthetic — dl.
Also at the end of the name acetate can be written. Acetates are salts or air of acetic acid, respectively, a basis of similar connections is acetic acid, however it does not affect usefulness of vitamin in any way.
It is important! If tocopherol was received from natural products, then means on its basis to be stored longer, and it gives more advantage, than synthetic option.
Now you know that if on a mask, hair gel or balm it is written Vitamin E, means in structure there has to be one of above-mentioned connections. If there is no that, it means a marketing mix which simply deceives buyers.
