Vitamin E

I'm too lazy to set a usertitle.
What if I'm fat? Does that count?

No because your stored fat is not metabolized unless your body is in the state of ketosis.

Without getting too technical, fat is the vehicle E needs to ride on for your system to use it.

Please get technical that sounds very intresting.:thumbsup:

You really don't want to hear this but here goes.

There are two types of vitamins, water soluble and fat soluble vitamins. E is not a water soluble vitamin but it is fat soluble.

All of our vitamins and minerals are delivered to the various parts of our bodies via our bloodstream. Our bloodstream is a water based solution so E not being a water soluble vitamin can't be absorbed or used raw into our bloodstream.

In the human body lipoproteins are what transport lipids (dietary fat) from the intestines throughout the body. Without dietary fat, E will not be picked by chylomicrons (the lipoprotein which incorporates E). Once chylomicrons incorporate E they are then taken up into high density lipoproteins (or HDLs) which is how it will travel to the liver where it will then by utilized by the body or I should say secreted from the liver to the body for use.

Excess E that is not excreted as bile or waste is stored in adipose tissue (body fat). That's why injecting E into body fat won't work.

Sorry if that put you to sleep but I warned you.:hatsoff:

What happens to the E that gets stored in the adipose tissue? Does the body convert it back to a usable substance when it's needed, or does it just remain as fat?

^ It's not the right consistency. It's sort of like Karo Syrup :shocked:


Vitamin E IS THEE dope for cuts, bruises, abrasions etc., anything that you'd like to express heal. Like saint say's, simply squeeze that shita rght out of the jell cap onto the dick sore, or where ever, cover with a light bandage and you're all good ! :hatsoff:

The oils keep the bandage from sticking too ! :hatsoff:

Unless your body is in a ketosis state, body fat is not metabolized.

Ketosis is the state when the human body begins to burn stored fat as it's primary energy source.

So it's similar to when the body releases glucagon to convert glycogen back to glucose, only different, right?

Sort of. Whilst in ketosis, you will also generally have a bad taste in your mouth (metallic, coppery, like a mouthful of pennies).

That's how ''dave rhino'' once described how pussy tasted :shocked:
I strongly disagree with him. I have something entirely different in my tasting notes.
Maybe . . . uh . . nevermind
Oh, he closed his acct. Funny how ya remember certain things. :o

I'm doing a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet currently, so I'm very familiar with the taste :( You can't just go bombing breath mints either, as the sugar will throw you out of Ketosis and destroy the diet. :mad:

For any healthy non-athletic person that doesn't go through strenuous physical activity having a proper healthy balanced diet is usually enough to meet a person’s nutritional needs.

While I'm not a big fan of vitamin supplementation in isolated forms because in isolating vitamins from their natural sources, the synergistic role other compounds and nutrients in the natural sources have in making the vitamin useful is not always accounted for. E is a perfect example where it was isolated from natural sources like almonds, avocados and sunflower seeds, etc. then it was found E wasn't usable without the dietary fat (lipids) found with it's natural sources.

I do think however, many natural sources for vitamins and minerals are not as replete with them as they once were. In many cases natural sources are fairly deficient in the vitamins and minerals they should contain. Studies have shown that since around the 1930s top soils are no longer rich in the nutrients and minerals necessary to properly fortify food sources, as a result they've become deficient, we eat them (or not in many cases) relying on their purported nutritional value and in some cases we become deficient.

I think it's a good idea to find out what your particular nutritional needs are (first) then supplement with fortified, natural sources as long as you don't exceed the upper limits.

Our deficient diets, stress, cooking vitamins and nutrients out of food, etc. make it smart if not necessary to supplement our vitamin uptake nowadays.
