Vitamin
E (Tocopherol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects body tissue from damage caused
by unstable substances called free radicals. Free radicals can harm
cells, tissues, and organs, and they are believed to be one of the causes
of the degenerative processes seen in aging. It prevents premature
reaction of oxygen in the body, prevents breakdown of many substances
in the body. Essential to the use of oxygen by muscles, helps
improve circulation and promotes normal clotting and healing.
Vitamin
E is also important in the formation and prolong life of red blood cells
and it helps the body to use
vitamin K.

be adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of practically all healthy persons.
The best way to get the daily

a variety of foods from the food guide pyramid. Specific recommendations
for each vitamin depend on age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy).
