Vitamin E-  Multi Vitamin Supplements

Vitamin E 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.

Vitamin E is also important in the formation of red blood cells and it helps the body to use Vitamin K.

Vitamin E source

Because most of the food sources of vitamin E are foods that aren't consumed in large amounts, a therapeutic level of vitamin E may be achieved only with supplements.

 

Vitamin E is found in the following foods:

  • Wheat germ
  • Corn
  • Nuts
  • Seeds
  • Olives
  • Spinach and other green leafy vegetables
  • Asparagus
  • Vegetable oils
    • Corn oil
    • Sunflower oil
    • Soybean oil
    • Cottonseed oil

Products made from these foods, such as margarine, also contain vitamin E.

More information on Vitamin E at National Institutes of Health
