Vitamin E Supplements

Vitamin E is an umbrella term for a group of eight fat soluble compounds (tocopherols) that are found in a wide variety of wholefoods. These compounds, of which alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active, have a number of functions in the body.

Vitamin E is an important antioxidant whose primary role in the body is to scavenge free radicals – these are rogue atoms or atomic groups that have lost at least one electron, forcing them to steal electrons from neighbouring molecules in the hope of stabilizing themselves. Whilst unsurprisingly this can cause havoc in the body, vitamin E has the ability to neutralize these free radicals thus protecting the cells from oxidative stress. Keep your levels topped up with a quality range of Vitamin E supplements that have proven benefits for your overall health and well being.
