Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and supports cardiovascular, immune, and skin health.
Vitamin E refers to a group of fat-soluble compounds, mainly tocopherols and tocotrienols, with alpha-tocopherol being the most active form in humans. It functions primarily as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals, and is found in nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, and leafy greens.
Strong evidence supports antioxidant effects, but benefits for cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions are mixed or limited in supplementation trials.
Antioxidant protection
StrongVitamin E helps neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and cellular damage.
Cardiovascular health support
MixedVitamin E may help protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation, potentially supporting heart health, though supplementation does not clearly reduce heart disease risk in all populations.
Immune system support
ModerateVitamin E plays a role in maintaining immune function, especially in the elderly, by protecting immune cells from oxidative damage.
Skin health and healing
LimitedVitamin E, especially topically, may aid skin healing and protect against UV-induced skin damage.
