Vitamin E is a nutrient that’s important to vision, reproduction, and the health of your blood, brain and skin. Vitamin E exists naturally in certain foods, including seeds, nuts, some vegetables, and some fortified products. You can also take it as a dietary supplement.
It plays many roles in your body. It’s perhaps best known for its antioxidant effects, protecting your cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing harmful molecules called free radicals. In addition, it’s needed for proper immune function and cellular signaling. RELATED: Health benefit of vitamin E
Below are some important functions of vitamin E to the human
1. May reduce heart disease risk factors
Having high blood pressure and high levels of blood lipids such as LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides may increase your risk of developing heart disease. Promisingly, research suggests that vitamin E supplements may help reduce heart disease risk factors such as these in some people.
2. May benefit skin health
Vitamin E supplements may be helpful for those with certain skin disorders, such as eczema. However, research is currently limited, and more studies are needed to learn more about this potential benefits.
3. May benefit cognitive health
Maintaining optimal vitamin E levels and taking supplements may help protect against cognitive decline. But it’s still unclear whether the supplements benefit people with cognitive conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
4. May benefit older adults
Because vitamin E plays important roles in health, such as reducing inflammation and improving immune function, Vitamin E supplements may benefit people who have increased needs or don’t get enough in their diets, such as some older adult.
5. May improve lung function
Studies have shown that vitamin E supplements could improve lung function and certain symptoms of asthma in children and adults.
