Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects cell membranes and other fat-soluble parts of the body from free radical damage. Its role in protecting cholesterol (a fatty substance in the blood) from damage, has promoted its use in heart health. Vitamin E’s protective action has other beneficial effects on the body; there is evidence to suggest that Vitamin E supports immune function, particularly in the elderly and helps protect against environmental and chemical pollutants.
