Sunflower oil, a source of vitamin E

  • protects cells from oxidative stress,

  • supports the immune system,

  • plays a role in skin and eye health.


Just one tablespoon of sunflower oil more than covers the recommended daily requirement of vitamin E.


Sunflower oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids

  • their beneficial effect on cholesterol levels,

  • cardiovascular protection,

  • blood pressure regulation.


Used as a replacement for saturated fats (such as butter), it contributes to a balanced diet.
