It is incorporated into the cell membranes and helps maintain their integrity throughout the body.-As an antioxidant vitamin E acts as a 'free-radical scavenger'. Free radicals are common in the body arising through a variety of mechanisms. Some are generated in the body as part of normal energy-producing processes some are generated by pollutants such as air pollution and some are generated by lifestyle factors such as excess dietary fats cigarette smoke and alcohol ingestion. Vitamin E helps maintain heart health as it can help to protect artery walls from free radical damage. A damaged artery wall is more susceptible to developing plaques which are raised patches on the normally thin and elastic inner wall of the artery. These plaques are composed of a number of substances which include oxidized LDL-cholesterol. Large plaques in arteries can end up obstructing blood circulation.-Vitamin E helps protect fat and cholesterol particularly LDL-cholesterol from oxidation. Fats and cholesterol are very susceptible to free radical damage which leads to the formation of a toxic derivative called oxidized LDL-cholesterol. It is currently understood that LDL-cholesterol is only harmful to the body after it has become oxidized.-Dosage-Adults - Take 1 capsules daily with food-Children under 12 years - Not recommended-The picture above is for reference only.
