The Marvels of Vitamin E

Vitamin E supplements come in very small gels, but their health benefits are much more significant.
Vitamin E offers benefits of maintaining cell growth, mental alertness, and reducing free radical damage.


Vitamin E for Vitality

Numerous studies demonstrate that the tocotrienols and tocopherols found in the modern day Vitamin E lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Elevation of these lipid levels is associated with heart disease, diabetes and metabolic instabilities of the body.
The elements found in Vitamin E are easily and readily absorbed into our bodies causing anti-inflammatory properties associated with many diseases.


Vitamin E for Heart Strength

Vitamin E is said to slow the formation of arterial plaque by stopping the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which may reduce heart disease.
As artery walls become damaged by age and diet factors, supplementing with Vitamin E can lubricate and soften the plaque that tends to build up in our arteries over time.
A strong heart must be pliable and lubricated by the internal liquids in the body; Vitamin E can help assist this process.


Vitamin E for Mental Health

Our body tissues contain lipids (fats and other fatty compounds), but the brain is especially rich in these vital substances. The lipids in the brain are highly susceptible to oxidative damage from free radicals.
The brain requires a great deal of antioxidant protection since it consumes a disproportionate amount of the body's oxygen supply, making it that much more vulnerable to oxidative damage.
Recent research suggests that increased intake of vitamin E helps preserve brain function and helps protect against neuronal or nerve degeneration.
Supplementing with Vitamin E can prevent or slow the rate of cognitive decline as the brain ages.


Vitamin E for Healthy Skin

When skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays and pollution caused by the environment, Vitamin E research reveals both internal and external absorption of Vitamin E safeguards the skin from damage caused by environmental factors.
Vitamin E has been proven to heal and minimize the appearance of cuts, scrapes and scars on the skins surface.
You can pop a Vitamin E gel open, apply it to a burn or scrape, it will heal faster, and scarring will be greatly diminished.
Vitamin E has been proven to moisturize the skin and is added to many skin creams and lotions.


Vitamin E for Eye Health

Benefits to Eye Health

Studies indicate that vitamin E reduces the progression of AMD and cataract formation.
Vitamin E also plays a significant role in the immune system, the health of cell membranes, in DNA repair, and in other metabolic processes.
Daily intake of vitamin E through diet, nutritional supplements, or fortified foods and beverages is important for the maintenance of good eye health.
Studies have indicated that cataract formation also may be delayed by supplementing the diet with vitamin E.
The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (or AREDS), sponsored by the National Eye Institute, was a landmark study that established AMD as a " nutrition responsive disorder."
The study showed that a 400 IU a day intake of vitamin E, taken with antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin C and zinc supplementation, slows the progression of advanced age-related macular degeneration.


Sources of Vitamin E

Vitamin E is found in egg yokes, green, leafy vegetables, nuts, vegetable oils, whole grains, and sweet potatoes.
