How it works
"Vitamin E has been found to be potent against cancer, aging, arthritis, and cataracts. It is important for the health of our visual and reproductive systems. It also is important to prevent aggregation of platelets, and can combat atherosclerosis. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which means that it protects the body’s cells from free radicals. Free radicals are a form of oxidative stress, and they cause cell and tissue damage. Vitamin E also supports immune health, enabling the body to fight off viruses. Its functions include widening blood vessels and preventing blood clots, as well as improving communication between cells."
