A fat soluble antioxidant vitamin which protects cell membranes and other fats in the body. It is utilised rapidly, requiring constant intake to fulfil its antioxidant function.
Prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which in turn prevents cardiovascular disease.

Vitamin E also has effects on inflammation, blood cell regulation, connective tissue growth, and genetic control of cell division.
Works synergistically with antioxidant enzymes in the body to enhance and support the immune system.
Has an anti-inflammatory action due to its effect on prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis.
Regulates the production of reproductive hormones and protects the mucus membranes of the reproductive organs.
Helps to prevent elevated scar tissue.
Prevents the oxidation of lung mucus membranes by damaging pollution and toxins.
