A fat soluble group of compounds, the term Vitamin E refers to several antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent damage from free radicals, which commonly appear as the signs of age (wrinkles, sagging skin, liver spots, etc). When the body converts food into energy, electrons from the dissolved food attach to oxygen molecules in the body, and Vitamin E protects the cells from this damage. Vitamin E may also have much to do with the response of the immune system, the expression of certain genes during growth, and also promotes blood health by dilating the blood vessels and reducing platelet aggregation.
