Pharmacodynamics
Tocopherol is a fat-soluble vitamin that exerts a pronounced radioprotective and at the same time antioxidant effect, participates in processes of heme and protein biosynthesis, cell proliferation and other important processes of cellular metabolism. The component improves the oxygen saturation of tissues, has an angioprotective effect, affecting vascular permeability and tone by stimulating the formation of new capillaries.
Immunomodulating activity of tocopherol develops with the stimulation of humoral, as well as T-cell immunity.
This vitamin is necessary for healthy reproductive activity: conception, fetal development, and the formation and functioning of the reproductive system.
Lack of tocopherol causes dystrophy of the myocardium and musculature of the skeleton, as well as hypotension, reduces the strength of the capillaries and increases their fragility, and besides leads to degeneration of the photoreceptors, which is why the visual disorder develops. Together with this, there is a weakening of reproductive activity in men, and in women - a disorder of the cycle of menstruation, as well as an increase in the propensity to miscarriages.
With a deficiency of tocopherol, jaundice of a hemolytic nature may appear in newborns, but also of steatorrhea or malabsorption syndrome.

Extremely large portions (over 0.8 g, for a long time) can cause bleeding in people with vitamin K deficiency. It is also possible to disturb the metabolic processes of thyroid hormones and increase the likelihood of thromboembolism with thrombophlebitis in persons with severe sensitivity.
