What is vitamin E? Vitamin E is an antioxidant that might help protect your cells from harmful molecules called free radicals. A buildup of free radicals may damage your cells and increase your risk of getting certain diseases. Vitamin E includes eight different substances, but your body only uses one of them: alpha-tocopherol. There are natural and synthetic (made by humans) versions of vitamin E. The natural forms are generally more beneficial to your body and eyes than their alternatives. Natural forms of vitamin E have a “d-” before their names, while human-made vitamin E carries a “dl-” prefix. The substance dl-alpha-tocopherol, for example, is a synthetic version of naturally occurring d-alpha-tocopherol. Vitamin E benefits The Vitamin E in your diet helps your body in several ways: • Boosts your immune system • Keeps blood vessels open and reduces your risk of clots • Helps prevent free radicals from damaging your cells and causing disease While vitamin E is very important for your body, studies that focused on consuming high levels of vitamin E haven’t been convincing. This may be because the vast majority of Americans have normal vitamin E levels in their blood, even when they don’t get enough in their diet. Adding more vitamin E on top of an already normal level doesn’t seem to offer much benefit — at least with the information available at this time. The average American diet doesn’t include enough vitamin E. In However, that data also showed that only 0.1% of t...
