Vitamin E and its Benefits Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that may help minimize the effects of free-radicals. In food, it helps prevent polyunsaturated fatty acids from breaking down and combining with substances that may harm the body. Vitamin E may also help maintain muscle & nerve function, bring nourishment to cells; strengthen capillary walls; protect red blood cells; promote healthy immune function; & decrease platelet aggregation (thins blood). Wheat germ oil, nuts and seeds, whole grains, egg yolks, and leafy green vegetables all contain vitamin E. Certain vegetable oils should contain significant amounts of vitamin E. However, many of the vegetable oils sold in supermarkets have had the vitamin E removed in processing. The high amounts found in supplements, often 100 to 800 IU per day, are not obtainable from eating food. Vitamin E is actually includes several tocopherols, each with their own subfamilies of alpha, beta, gamma and delta substances. Unless your brand contains the full spectrum of these, you are not getting the full benefits of vitamin E. The gamma form is quite effective against certain dangerous free radicals which the alpha form fails to neutralize. The natural blend (d-alpha) of vitamin E is up to a 3 times more effective as an antioxidant when compared to synthetic vitamin E. It is considered the first line of defense against lipid peroxidation, protecting cell membranes against free radicals. Sources include the Vitacost Website.
