Opis produktu

Zgłoś do moderacji

Żel rozpuszczający naskórek Sunew Med, którego składnikiem aktywnym jest witamina C, zawiera aktywne i mineralne składniki, które powodują złuszczenie naskórka, zanieczyszczań oraz martwych komórek- bez zaczerwienienia i podrażnień. Żel jest alternatywą dla mikrodermabrazji, może jednak być używany przy cerach naczyniowych i bardzo wrażliwych. Absorpcja składników z innych kosmetyków zostaje podniesiona dzięki czemu skóra jest odżywiona, a składniki aktywne działają w głębszych warstwach skóry. Witamina C hamuje wytwarzanie pigmentu chroniąc skórę przed powstawaniem piegów i przebarwień, a istniejące wyraźnie rozjaśnia. Poprawia koloryt poszarzałej skóry. Stymuluje produkcję ceramidów, poprawia barierę lipidową naskórka. Skóra staje się bardziej odporna na czynniki zewnętrzne i lepiej nawilżona.

Moim zdaniem jeden z fajniejszych peelingów, nie miałam po nim problemów ze skórą. Dobrze złuszcza. Jedynie cena nie jest przystępna, chociaż trzeba przyznać, że jest bardzo wydajny dla jednej osoby wystarczy na bardzo długo.

Nie zauważyłam spektakularnych efektów, zauważyłam delikatne złuszczenie naskórka odświeżenie skóry i nic więcej. Produkt ma drobinki delikatnie ścierające odrobine witaminy która może rozjaśniać skórę i delikatnie piec jak mamy rankę ale nie wydaje mi sie ze ten żel ma jej na tyle dużo by rozjaśnić skore
Zluszczy jedna warstwe naskóra nie jest inwazyjny ale nie pozostawia wrazenia skóry jakos peeknie oczyszczonej i wypeelingowanej. Oceniam produkt na 2 poniewaz nie spelnia moich oczekiwan a jest piekielnie drogi.Jest wiele tanszych odpowiednikow w granicach 10 zl które daja lepsze efekty.

Z żelem mam do czynienia już kilka lat! Kiedy zaczynam mieć problemy ze skórą częściej po niego sięgam! Dużym plusem jest natychmiastowe działanie. Szybki efekt, ale im więcej używam tym efekt słabnie (bo nie ma co już peelingować ?). Rozświetla i wygładza skórę. Działa na delikatne przebarwienia. Trochę mnie tylko irytuje, że przykleja się do włosków na twarzy (ale znalazłam i na to sposób! Zmywam go ciepłym mokrym ręcznikiem!) Peeling gommage formuła dość popularna w krajach azjatyckich, fajnie że trafił do Polski!

ZALETY: - szybkie działanie
- pojemność
- wydajność

WADY: - czasem przylepiają się do włosków na twarzy trzeba wtedy zrobić delikatny masaż twarzy gorącą wodą (ręcznikiem)
- cena

Z produktem współpracuję od roku. Jak dla mnie jest bardzo dobry i bardzo pomógł mojej skórze, szczególnie, że choruję na łuszczycę. Nie rozumiem hejtu, który na niego spada, ponieważ sądzę, że testy na jakiś tkaninach są niepotrzebne gdyż wyraźnie na opakowaniu producenta jest napisane, że produkt zawiera hydrolizowaną skrobię, która jest zawarta również w innych kosmetykach między innymi szamponach do włosów. Moim zdaniem nie chodzi o to co zostaje na płytkach i skórzanej sofie, tylko o to jaki jest efekt na skórze, a efekt jest wspaniały. moja skóra przez ten kosmetyk jest bardzo ładnie oczyszczona i gładka, po roku używania mogę z całą pewnością powiedzieć, że żel pomógł mojej skórze. Jestem z niego bardzo zadowolona, ponieważ pozbyłam się wyprysków i co jest zaskakujące dla mnie super wspomaga leczenie łuszczycy.

Żel rozpuszczający naskórek zrobił na mnie bardzo pozytywne wrażenie. Jeden z moich ulubionych kosmetyków. Produkt jest gęsty (bardzo wydajny)
o delikatnym, przyjemnym zapachu. Po oczyszczeniu żelem zauważyłam znaczną poprawę, moja skóra stała się bardziej wygładzona i aksamitna. Po kilku zastosowaniach tego produktu cera jest rozświetlona i bardziej promienna. Mam wrażenie, że jest bardziej odżywiona i zregerowana.Stosując więcej produktów Sunew Med moja skóra dostała mega nawilżenia, odżywienia i regeneracji.

Na wstępie napiszę tylko, że produkt nie zrobił mi żadnej krzywdy. W sumie nie zrobił nic.
Zachęcona opiniami zakupiłam ten żel, który miał rozpuszczać naskórek, a ten miał być wręcz wyczuwalny pod palcami.
Nałożyłam na twarz i myślę: cudo! W trakcie tegoż właśnie pierwszego użycia coś mnie tknęło i mówię: podejrzane.., sprawdzę na płytkach łazienkowych... Oj, jak ja się wściekłam, gdy zobaczyłam, że pocieranie tego produktu o kafelkowy blat w łazience dało identyczny efekt (!) Nie wiem, który składnik ma takie działanie, być może skrobia.
Gdyby w opisie była informacja, że to cecha produktu i powstała "kaszka" pomaga oczyścić skórę-ok, nie mam zastrzeżeń, ale dlaczego reklama próbuje mi wmówić, że to co powstaje pod palcami to mój rozpuszczony naskórek?! Jedno wielkie oszustwo i to jeszcze sygnowane przez rozpoznawalną osobę.
Nigdy więcej nie zakupię produktow tej marki.

WADY: Cena
pod palcami wyczuwamy sam produkt, a nie naskórek

Kupiłam ten produkt bo reklamowała go jedna ze znanych osób, uległam wpływom i już nigdy więcej!
Użyłam tego produktu 3 razy i już do niego nie wrócę, więcej szansy nie będzie. Nie widziałam żadnej poprawy a wręcz miałm zaczerwienioną skórę bo nie mogłam tego zmyć z twarzy a już tłumaczę dlaczego.
Mam delikatny meszek w okolicach policzków i brody, po użyciu tego pilingu te grudki co wytwarzaję się pod palcami zatrzymywały mi się na włoskach i wtedy zaczynała się zabawa. Nie mogłam tego zetrzeć. Musiałam mocniej trzeć co powodowało zaczeriwienienia. Abym mogła ściągnąć te grudki pomagał ciepły okład, on zmiekczał te resztki i wtedy je ściagał. Może ja mam jakiegoś pecha ale u mnie ten piling nie sprawdził się wcale. Mogę używać na czole, nosie bo tam nie mam meszku i polikach ale chyba nie o to w tym wszystkim chodzi.
Coś cięzko mi uwierzyć, że ten żel ściąga rzekomo tyle naskórka bo nie widzę po nim różnicy :/ Żel jest dość wydajny ale z chęcią go komuś oddam bo u mnie leży nieużywany. Aktualnie pilinguje sobie nim dłonie ale też nie widzę jakiejś poprawy skóry.

ZALETY: Raczej nic

WADY: roluje się i przyczepia do włosków na twarzy
nie widać efektów, skóra nie jest wygładzona

Czuję się oszukana, żel składa się z witaminy c i skrobi. To co ma być złuszczonym naskórkiem to tak naprawdę skrobia, której farfocle zrobią się na wszystkim poprzez tarcie (nie tylko na twarzy, proponuję zrobić test na talerzu czy podłodze, efekt ten sam). Co tu ma złuszczać czy rozpuszczać jak jest to tylko skrobia..

    So why is vitamin C so great for your skin? Research shows it's a great multi-tasker, as it helps stimulate collagen production (to help keep things firm), reduces the appearance of dark spots and sun damage, and acts as an antioxidant to protect your skin throughout the day.

It also comes in 10%, 15%, and 20% formulations, so you can choose the one that works best for you or work your way up to a more potent product if you're prone to irritation.

    Plus, Dermstore reviewers can't stop raving about this one. "I have resisted medical grade vitamin C for so long because it is costly. I have tried all the various price points of other vitamin C products and there is a difference!" one person wrote. "The only recent change I've made is adding in Obagi 15 and my skin is radiant and pigmentation is already starting to diminish."

    "I love this product, I am on my third or fourth bottle," another wrote. "I really have noticed my dark spots lightening with this and sunscreen every single day. I also think my skin texture has improved and feels and looks smoother and plumper."

    So, if you're ready to hop on the vitamin C train, now's the time to try a splurge-worthy product for 15% off with the code CELEBRATE at Dermstore!

    Vitamin C Cause Frequent Urination

    Everything You Need to Know About Vitamin C

    Medically Reviewed by Madeline Hubbard, RN, BSN.

    Whether in the form of a fizzy drink or flavored lozenges, cold and flu preventative supplements almost always highlight vitamin C as one of their key ingredients. So, what's so magical about vitamin C? Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is critical to living healthily. Since the human body cannot spontaneously generate this nutrient, vitamin C must instead be absorbed from outside sources, such as vitamin supplements or foods that are naturally rich in it.

    What Does Vitamin C Do?

    Commonly found in cold and flu preventative supplements, vitamin C strengthens and speeds up immune system functionality. Though research does not indicate that vitamin C intake alone can prevent the onset of cold or flu, adequate daily intake may shorten the duration of an infection or lessen the severity of symptoms.

    Vitamin C is crucial for the maintenance of well being. For example, it plays a role in wound healing and helps maintain many essential body tissues. It also acts as a potent antioxidant and can repair damage from free radicals, which are linked to aging effects, and disease vulnerability. Additionally, vitamin C can also prevent anemia, since it helps the body increase absorption of dietary iron, another vital mineral that the body cannot spontaneously create.

    Foods that contain high concentrations of vitamin C have been linked with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, like heart attack and stroke. Vitamin C can also increase levels of nitric oxide, a compound that widens blood vessels and, in turn, lowers blood pressure. In addition, regular intake of vitamin C, along with other vitamins, has been linked to a decreased risk for developing age-related cataracts, a leading cause of visual impairment in the United States.

    Common Sources of Vitamin C

    Vitamin C can be easily obtained through the many different foods, including:

    Photo Courtesy: Akaradech Pramoonsin/Moment/Getty Images

    • Citrus fruits and juices (orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime and tangerine)
    • Berries
    • Melons
    • Mangoes
    • Kiwi
    • Tomato
    • Broccoli
    • Red peppers
    • Spinach
    • Squash
    • Potatoes

    Cooking these foods may result in the loss of some of the vitamin content, so it is ideal to ingest them raw, either whole or juiced. Nowadays, there are also numerous packaged food products, like cereals, that have been enriched and fortified with vitamin C, so that the nutrient can be easily obtained.

    Vitamin C may also be labeled as "L-ascorbic acid" in supplement form, and most over-the-counter multivitamins contain the recommended daily amount of the vitamin. While it is a good source when an individual is in need of a vitamin C boost, supplements are not meant to replace a diet rich in naturally derived vitamin C.

    What Happens When You Have Too Much — or Too Little — Vitamin C?

    Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that can be easily flushed out of the body via urination when it is not needed. Therefore, if the main source of vitamin C is from naturally occurring foods, it is near-impossible for excess vitamin C to produce side effects. However, taking excessive concentrated vitamin C supplements may lead to diarrhea or stomach upset.

    Photo Courtesy: Violeta Stoimenova/E+/Getty Images

    Since vitamin C-rich foods are so readily available nowadays, symptoms of inadequate vitamin C intake are also rare in the United States. However, malnourished individuals can experience symptoms of vitamin C deficiency over time, including:

    • Weakness
    • Fatigue
    • Anemia
    • Easy bruising
    • Joint pain
    • Skin breakdown
    • Weakened tooth enamel
    • Gum inflammation

    Severe vitamin C deficiency is referred to as scurvy. Scurvy can be easily treated with increased dietary or supplemental vitamin C. Since vitamin C is crucial in the detoxification of the body, a lack of vitamin C can compromise the immune system and make an individual more susceptible to diseases and infections. Individuals with insufficient vitamin C may find that it takes longer than usual to recover from a cold or a physical wound.

    Daily Dosage Recommendations:

    The daily dosage recommendation for vitamin C is different for everyone, depending on factors such as gender, age, lifestyle and current health condition. The recommended daily dosage for vitamin C is at least 75 mg daily for women and 90 mg for men. Since people who are pregnant, breast feeding, smoking or using oral contraceptives have a lower blood level of vitamin C than others, larger doses of vitamin C may be needed to achieve optimal results in these individuals. Those who have prior or current medical conditions may also require bigger or smaller dosage levels, as recommended by their healthcare providers.

    Do Pine Needles Have Vitamin C

    Last Updated on November 19, 2021

    Bright and refreshing pine needle tea not only tastes delicious, it's also rich in compounds linked to better health. And you can forage a nutritious cup of pine tea for free all year round!

    cover photo of pine needle tea brewing in glass cup with title text overlay

    WHY MAKE PINE NEEDLE TEA?

    OK, I know a cup of pine needles might sound odd to some, but pine needle tea is really worth giving a chance. Here's why.

    First of all, pine needle tea (also called just pine tea or sometimes white pine tea) is delicious, like drinking a little bit of the scent of a pine forest or fresh Christmas tree.

    Second, pine needles have useful medicinal properties that make them helpful for supporting health and alleviating cold symptoms. (More details on the health benefits of pine needles below.)

    Last, this delicious and healthy tea is free to any forager with access to a pine tree. Most people don't realize the trees around us offer ample foraging opportunities. In the case of evergreens, like pine and spruce, the fact they can be foraged all year long, when nothing else is growing, makes them all the more valuable. Here are more than 25 medicinal trees to explore if you're curious.

    I happen to have a spruce tree growing in my yard, so spruce tea is something I make often in the colder months, when all my home-grown herbs have long since died.

    I love that spruce and pine offer opportunities for fresh herbal tea any time of year. In summer, I use lemon balm, mint, and other perennial herbs in sun tea. I also harvest some of the new spruce tips in late spring.

    Wondering what else you might be able to forage in your yard? You probably have a number of edible weeds like dandelions, purslane, wild violets, and creeping Charlie, as well as numerous flowers you can eat.

    Making the most of these easily-foraged ingredients can help you eat seasonally all year round. And since pine is always in season, pine tea lets you enjoy seasonal eating at any time of year.

    Get more savvy tips to help you live greener and healthier every day by following HealthyGreenSavvy on Facebook and Pinterest, where you'll find easy health hacks, eco-living essentials, and simple healthy recipes shared daily.

    PINE NEEDLE TEA BENEFITS

    Like elderberries and other long-standing plant medicines, the active compounds in pine needles have undergone some intriguing research. I'll bet you never realized the power your pine trees might have to benefit your health.

    Pine needles have been used by herbalists and native peoples for centuries. Some of pine needles' medicinal properties include:

    • anti-inflammatory
    • pain reliever
    • antimicrobial
    • decongestant
    • expectorant

    Other parts of the pine are also edible and medicinal, but that's the subject of another post. Below are some of the benefits scientists have studied to date about the benefits of pine needles.

    photo of pine needle tea brewing in cup

    1. PINE NEEDLES ARE RICH IN POLYPHENOLS

    Like so many other potent medicinal plants, pine needles contain compounds called flavonoids, which are known to benefit health.

    Studies suggest that pine needles contain a-pinene, which may aid memory, alleviate anxiety, and help with depression, though these animal studies cannot directly demonstrate these pine needle benefits for humans.

    2. PINE NEEDLE TEA CONTAINS ANTIOXIDANTS

    Antioxidants help our bodies deal with something called oxidative stress, which can affect proteins and DNA in ways that may contribute to chronic disease, like cancer and inflammatory conditions like arthritis.

    Pine needles, like many other foods rich in antioxidants, contain compounds that may help reduce oxidative stress, which can lower our risk of many chronic diseases. (Additional studies here, here, and here.)

    One study looking at the potential benefits of pine needles found that "pine needles exhibit strong antioxidant, antimutagenic, and antiproliferative effects on cancer cells and also antitumor effects in vivo and point to their potential usefulness in cancer prevention."

    3. PINE NEEDLES ARE A SOURCE OF VITAMIN C

    Like spruce, pine needles contain vitamin C, which is why it's long been used as an effective remedy for scurvy. (You may find mention of Jacques Cartier's crew using pine to treat scurvy, but that appears to have been arborvitae, which is a different genus of conifer.)

    I've seen numerous claims that the vitamin C in pine needles exceeds that in lemons and oranges, but not one of them cites their sources. One study cited in this article found differing amounts of vitamin C in different types of pine, and while some are quite high, it's worth remembering that you're not likely to eat 100 grams of pine needles the way you would 100 grams of orange.

    Another source found that the vitamin C levels in the pine needles analyzed wasn't very high, but consumed in pine tea they seem to have enough to help with scurvy.

    However much vitamin C  it contains, pine needle tea isn't just useful for scurvy. You probably know that vitamin C plays an important role in immune system function, so it's useful for fighting colds. Here's a complete list of immune-boosting foods to incorporate into your diet regularly to help you stay healthier during cold and flu season.

    Researchers at the University of Maine found that pine needles steeped in hot water readily released shikimic acid, one of the key ingredients in the antiviral drug Tamiflu, though of course a cup of pine needle tea will have only a tiny amount of this compound compared to a dose of Tamiflu.

    You'd have to consume an awful lot of pine needle tea to take in significant amounts of these compounds. But adding an easily foraged tea to your herbal tea rotation will help you expand the range of polyphenols you get in your diet, always a good thing. And as a herbal remedy for coughs and colds, a steaming cup of pine needle tea may provide some much-needed relief. Immune-boosting elderberry tea is another great option. Here are more effective home remedies for cough.

    Curious about other medicinal plants you might grow in your yard? Here are more than 45 options to consider for your medicinal herb garden.

    Note: Pregnant women are advised to avoid spruce and pine tea.

    IDENTIFYING PINES FOR PINE NEEDLE TEA

    The first rule of foraging is ALWAYS to make a positive identification before harvesting. Though some people refer to all evergreens as pines, there are actually many different types of conifer, and not all are safe to consume.

    There are over 100 species of pine in the genus pinus growing around the world, and they share an easy-to-identify feature: clusters of long needles, usually found in groups of 2-5 called fascicles.

    If you find an evergreen with individual leaves coming directly out of the branch, you don't have a pine, but likely a spruce or fir. You'll see these used in a lot of blog posts purportedly about pine needle tea, but they're technically making a spruce or fir tea. More than you wanted to know, perhaps, but it's irksome when people share foraging information and don't bother to check they're correct.

    The cluster of 5 needles is held together by a brown papery covering where it meets the branch

    photo of pine needles and spruce needles on branches to show how they differ

    The cutting of spruce on the left shows the different pattern of needles, which attach individually rather than in clusters like pine

    Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus, pictured above) grows widely in North America, and can be easily identified by its clusters of 5 needles, while red pines have 2 and yellow pines have 3. Count the needles on more than one cluster in case a needle has fallen from the cluster.

    Here's more on distinguishing different conifers from Iowa State Extension. This post on conifer identification from Grow Forage Cook Ferment is also very informative.

    Always consult a good field guide for foragers or enlist a local expert so you know what you're collecting.

    Here are some of my favorite foraging books.

    Since correctly identifying the specific type of pine you have can be a little tricky, this identification tool from the Arbor Day Foundation can help you distinguish exactly which pine you've got. Make sure it's not one of those to avoid listed below.

    If you'd like to know more about safe foraging, you might consider taking a foraging class, like the Herbal Academy's online foraging course , which teaches plant identification and ethical wildcrafting practices.

    –> Avoid the trees below when foraging for pine needle tea. Note that though some are sometimes popularly referred to as pines, they're not actually in the same family:

    • Yew Plum Pine or fern pine (Podocarpus macrophylla)
    • Norfolk Pine or Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla)
    • Cypress (Cupressus) (More on issues of edibility here.)
    • Yew (Taxus)

    Another non-pine with pine in its name is the Australian Pine (Casuarina equisetifolia). Here's more on uses for it from Eat the Weeds.

    Here's how to identify yews and why to make sure to avoid them. This video also has a good description of what to look for to make sure you don't accidentally harvest this poisonous plant. You can find more of Professor Waterson's videos on additional conifers here.

    A much-cited study of cattle fed large quantities of ponderosa pine found that pregnant cows were more likely to miscarry on a diet of ponderosa pine, leading to assertions that ponderosa pine is unsafe for consumption by pregnant women. Though concerns about ponderosa pine may be overblown, most experts recommend caution with many herbs in pregnancy because of the lack of safety data.

    Ponderosa pines have 2-3 needles per cluster. Lodgepole or Shore Pine (Pinus contorta) also has conflicting information about its edibility, so skip it if you have concerns.

    If you want to be extra-cautious, using needles from trees with 5 needles per cluster means you'll be using only white pine for tea.

    HARVESTING NEEDLES FOR PINE TEA

    Once you've correctly identified your local pine trees, you're ready to collect needles for your pine tea.

    Harvest needles from a tree that hasn't been sprayed with chemicals, which may mean avoiding public parks or yards where homeowners spray their lawns with herbicides.

    If you're foraging from your Christmas tree, make sure it wasn't sprayed, as many commercial growers spray their Christmas trees.

    Gather needles sparingly, as the tree needs plenty of needles to stay healthy. Take a few bunches of needles from several trees rather than lots all from one tree.

    Many foragers prefer the flavor of younger needles, which you'll find toward the end of the branches. I've read that the older needles may have more vitamin C, but I haven't found any study supporting that claim.

    If you don't have ready access to a pine tree and want to collect extra when you find one, you can use dried pine needles for pine tea.

    Many readers have asked about purchasing pine needles for pine tea.  These sellers on Etsy ship fresh and dried pine needles.

    How much pine needle to use: Some pine needle tea drinkers suggest dunking the tip of a branch into boiling water, while others suggest chopping the needles and using a couple of tablespoons per cup of water. Different trees will have different flavors, and the flavor can vary with the season as well. There isn't just one 'right' way to make pine tea, so do what works for you.

    You'll likely get more out of your pine needle tea if you chop the needles to help release their medicinal compounds. I also recommend making your tea too strong and diluting it rather than using too little pine and having a weak, tasteless tea you won't want to drink.

    –>Pour freshly boiled water over needles rather than boiling your pine needles on the stovetop to preserve medicinal compounds.

    I find pine needle tea lovely on its own without sweetener, but if you prefer sweeter tea, add a little honey or other sweetener to taste.

    Prep Time 2 minutes

    Cook Time 15 minutes

    Total Time 17 minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup chopped pine needles
    • 2 cups boiled filtered water
    • Optional: honey or other sweetener to taste

    Instructions

    1. Collect pine needles from trees you've positively identified as pines, and not from the trees to avoid mentioned above.
    2. Remove needle clusters from the branch and rinse.
    3. Chop or snip pine needles into small pieces, discarding the brown covering holding the needle cluster together.
    4. Place chopped needles in a teapot or cup and cover with freshly boiled water.
    5. Allow to steep 10-15 minutes, strain and enjoy.

    Notes

    Different pine needles will have different flavors and intensity. Add more pine needles for stronger flavor and less if you find the flavor too strong.

    Basics You Need to Know About Vitamin E

    Medically Reviewed by Madeline Hubbard, RN, BSN

    Vitamin E is a compound that plays many important roles in your body and provides multiple health benefits. In order to maintain healthy levels of vitamin E, you need to ingest it through food or consume it as an oral supplement. Read on to find out which foods are recommended sources of this essential nutrient, along with other basics to know about vitamin E.

    What Does Vitamin E Do?

    Vitamin E is classified as an antioxidant. This means that vitamin E helps to destroy harmful compounds called free radicals that can build up in your body. Free radicals cause damage to cells through oxidative stress, and they've been linked to aging and health problems such as cancer and heart disease. Getting enough vitamin E on a daily basis may help to combat these conditions by protecting the outer membranes of your cells from free radical damage.

    Vitamin E also plays an important role in your immune system and your body's ability to fight infection. At certain doses, vitamin E has been shown to stimulate the function of T cells — a type of cell that responds to pathogens that cause disease. Recent studies have shown that increasing your vitamin E intake may correlate with a stronger immune response and greater resistance to infection.

    Vitamin E is present in the following whole foods:

    • Wheat germ
    • Almonds
    • Plant oils (vegetable, sunflower, grapeseed, etc.)
    • Sunflower seeds
    • Peanut butter
    • Spinach
    • Broccoli
    • Kiwi
    • Mango

    Daily Dosage Recommendations

    As people age, their daily dosage recommendation for vitamin E increases. For these standard recommended daily doses, a healthy balanced diet is usually sufficient for getting the required amount of vitamin E:

    • Birth to 6 months: 4 milligrams (mg)/day
    • 1 to 12 months: 5 mg/day
    • 1 to 3 years: 6mg/day
    • 4 to 8 years: 7mg/day
    • 9 to 13 years: 11mg/day
    • 14+ years, including adults and seniors: 15mg/day

    A person's age, gender and health conditions can help determine their recommended daily dose of vitamin E. Always consult a healthcare professional before altering your intake of vitamin E from the recommended daily dosage.

    Taking Vitamin E Supplements

    If it becomes necessary, such as if you become deficient in vitamin E, your doctor may advise you to start taking vitamin E supplements. Vitamin E supplements may come with some minor side effects if you take more than the recommended daily amount or if you combine these supplements with certain medications.

    For example, vitamin E may increase the risk of bleeding if you take it with anticoagulants (also called blood thinners) like warfarin. Other medications, like chemotherapy drugs and cholesterol-lowering drugs, have potential harmful interactions when combined with vitamin E supplements. Talk to a healthcare professional before introducing daily vitamin E supplements, and be sure to discuss current medications you're taking.

    Vitamin C Cold Prevention

    Vitamin C Cold Prevention

    Samantha is an everyday health expert with a background in International Public Health and Psychology. Read full profile

    When it comes to vitamins, it can all be a bit confusing as to which ones help prevent which ailment. However, there are some vitamins we can all rely on to know their purpose and preventable abilities, such as vitamin C which is well known for being the best for supporting us through colds and flu. But is this entirely true? Is there a more effective vitamin that can help with preventing us from catching colds and flu?

    If latest research is anything to go by, the answer is yes and it may be surprising to hear that it's actually vitamin D. Our ideas of vitamin D are usually synonymous with bone health which is entirely true, but it has emerged that vitamin D has been vastly underestimated in its important role of improving our immune systems.

    Vitamin C vs. Vitamin D

    While getting enough vitamin C is helpful towards preventing colds, we are led to believe that we need more of it to get better and improve immunity. The real truth is, we get plenty of vitamin C in our diets. Easily obtainable and common foods such as fruits (strawberries, melon, tomatoes and citrus fruits) and vegetables (green leafy vegetables, cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts) all contain high levels of vitamin C so a balanced healthy diet will supply more than enough.

    On top of that, vitamin C isn't as effective at improving our immune systems as we are led to believe. While it can help towards fighting a cold, it actually makes little impact.

    Latest studies have shown a link between low vitamin D levels and higher cases of common respiratory infections. While it's essential for bone health, vitamin D is multi-purposeful and is thought to be much better than vitamin C in its immunity role. A study was conducted involving 19,000 participants using data from a national health survey between 1988 and 1994. It showed 36% of those with low levels of vitamin D in their blood were more likely to report having a recent upper respiratory tract infection than those with higher levels.

    Although these studies are just coming through and more research needs to be done, there are more and more strong links between chances of catching colds and low levels of vitamin D.

    Getting Enough Vitamin D for Our Body

    The problem is that vitamin D is much harder to produce in the body. With reduced exposure to sunlight in many countries especially in the winter, a large percentage of people have a vitamin D deficiency, therefore not getting the full benefits of what vitamin D can do for their immune systems.

    This is why diet and supplements are key to getting the sufficient amount of vitamin D we need in order to help prevent colds and flu more efficiently.

    Foods such as egg yolks, canned tuna, liver, cod liver oil, fortified milk, and fortified cereals can give you a boost of vitamin D along with supplements ‒ and a dose of sunlight as vitamin D forms in our skin in response to the sun's rays (just 10 minutes is enough). While upping your vitamin D intake may help towards preventing yourself from getting sick, a consistent daily intake is needed for it to have a successful effect.

    Vitamin D and The Common Cold

    While more and more research is pointing to increasing your vitamin D levels to fight cold and flu, it's important to realize that it only helps to boost the immune system and isn't a preventative measure in itself. Living a healthy lifestyle with a varied, healthy diet and regular exercise is needed to strengthen our immunity and to ward off the nasty bugs and viruses that get into our body.

    The research is promising but it has its limits as to what the ideal level of vitamin D is for supporting immune system responses to infection. All they know is that making the conscious effort to increase depleting vitamin D levels is a must for overall health. So if you want to know how to prevent a cold this winter, reach for the vitamin D instead of the vitamin C and see if it makes a difference.
