Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin found in many foods, fats, and oils. It is also an antioxidant. Antioxidants are substances that destroy free radicals — harmful compounds in the body that damage DNA (genetic material) and even cause cell death. Free radicals are believed to contribute to aging as well as the development of a number of health problems, including heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants provide some protection against these conditions and also help reduce the damage caused by toxic chemicals and pollutants.
Vitamin E is also important in the formation of red blood cells and it helps the body to use vitamin K.
People who are unable to absorb fat properly may develop vitamin E deficiency. Symptoms of serious vitamin E deficiency include: Muscle weakness, Loss of muscle mass, Abnormal eye movements, Impaired vision and Unsteady gait
Chronic deficiency may also cause liver and kidney problems. Although most people aren’t seriously deficient in vitamin E, it’ s not uncommon for people to be slightly deficient.
