Description
Vitamin E is actually a family of eight different fat-soluble molecules with antioxidant properties. Only one of these forms, alphatocopherol, satisfies human requirements for vitamin E.1 The main function of Vitamin E is to act as the body’s primary fat-soluble antioxidant. As such, it can provide antioxidant support in hydrophobic areas such as cell membranes where water-soluble antioxidants cannot reach.
Antioxidants help fight free radicals and play a role in maintaining good health. Free radicals are unstable compounds that can damage cell membranes. They occur naturally in our bodies but can be exacerbated by pollution, smoking, and sun exposure. When cells are nourished with adequate amounts of vitamin E, it helps to stabilize cell membranes. Since cells are ubiquitous throughout the body, vitamin E is very important to maintaining general good health
Benefits
The most notable benefit of vitamin E is its beneficial antioxidant properties. Vitamin E also plays a very important role in stabilizing cell membranes. This makes it an essential nutrient for many cells such as heart muscle cells and helps them to function optimally. Vitamin E can be found in nerve cells and also the outermost layer of the skin. It is also an integral part of the cell membranes of immune cells and contributes to healthy immune function.
