VITAMIN E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role as an antioxidant. It helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, unstable compounds that can cause oxidative stress. Vitamin E is often found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables.

THE BENEFITS OF VITAMIN E

SKIN PROTECTION

Vitamin E is widely used in dermatology for its protective properties against UV damage. It also promotes wound healing and can reduce skin inflammation.

EYE HEALTH

Some studies have suggested that vitamin E may play a role in reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), although the results are inconclusive. It is often combined with other antioxidants for potentially beneficial effects on eye health.

IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT

Vitamin E helps strengthen the immune system, especially in older adults. It can help improve the immune response, which is crucial for fighting infections.

CARDIOVASCULAR PROTECTION

Although study results are mixed, vitamin E is sometimes associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Its antioxidant effect may help prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, a risk factor for heart disease.

REGULATION OF BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS

Preliminary research has suggested that vitamin E may improve insulin sensitivity and help manage type 2 diabetes. However, further studies are needed to confirm these effects.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION +

The recommended daily intake of vitamin E for adults is 15 mg. Although vitamin E is generally safe when consumed in appropriate doses, excessive doses may increase the risk of bleeding and other adverse effects.

Vitamin E is found naturally in a variety of foods, including vegetable oils (such as sunflower oil and olive oil), nuts, seeds, and some vegetables.
