Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) is a fat-soluble vitamin with powerful antioxidant activity, which protects cells from harmful free radicals and oxidation. It also prevents the breakdown and union of saturated fatty acids. Another important protective property of Vitamin E is that it binds with oxygen in the body and prevents its conversion to oxidized peroxides. Vitamin E also acts on cardioprotection to strengthen the capillaries.
The dietary supplement Solgar Natural Vitamin E contains natural vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol along with a mixture of tocopherols for greater antioxidant activity.
Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
