Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is fat-soluble and vital for the body; it is an antioxidant that protects fatty acids. As a result, it protects the body from the formation of toxic molecules produced by normal metabolism (such as metabolism from respiration or oral intake).
These are some of the functions vitamin E performs in the body:
- Alpha-tocopherol is recommended for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, as it promotes the absorption of unsaturated fats and therefore can help combat cholesterol and triglycerides.
- Prevents the formation and expansion of clots and therefore emboli.
- Prevents the formation of thrombi, which complicate blood circulation in blood vessels.
- Prevents or reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, or embolism.
Benefits
- Helps combat stress.
- Vitamin E is essential in maintaining the integrity and stability of the axonal membrane (the membrane of neurons).
- Necessary for normal muscle development.
- Necessary for the resistance of erythrocytes and their hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells).
- Helps as a detoxifying agent. Vitamin E helps protect cells against the presence of toxic compounds, heavy metals (silver, mercury, lead), drugs, and radiation. The toxicity of these foreign substances is due to free radicals generated during detoxification of the body.
