Description
Vitamin E is an antioxidant. It may help protect your cells from damage. This essential nutrient occurs naturally in many foods. It’s also available as a dietary supplement. Sometimes, it’s in processed foods. Vitamin E is fat-soluble. This means your body stores and uses it as needed.
The term “vitamin E” describes eight different compounds. Alpha-tocopherol is the most active one in humans.
Longer cell life
Researchers have investigated the use of vitamin E as treatment for a variety of degenerative diseases, including:
- hardening of the arteries
- high blood pressure
- heart disease
- cancer
Studies so far have failed to show a reduction in the incidence of these conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic. There is a lack of proven medical uses for vitamin E aside from treating vitamin E deficiency, which is a rare condition.
Vitamin E may help people with higher environmental or lifestyle risk factors. Free radicals are increased by:
- cigarette smoking
- exposure to air pollution
- high exposure to ultraviolet rays from sunlight
Vitamin E may help repair damaged cells.
