Vitamin E is Essential

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient - a powerful antioxidant offering a wealth of health benefits. As our bodies metabolize oxygen, it can generate reactive by-products known as free radicals that can damage normal cells. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and restore stability to support and protect the body's tissues.

Over 340 clinical studies and research papers document numerous health benefits. Vitamin E helps to strengthen the body's immune and brain functions, as well as protect the eyes, lungs and heart. In addition, although the evidence is not yet conclusive, Vitamin E shows promise in protecting against some cancers.

One third of adults do not get enough Vitamin E from their diets alone. The Institute of Medicine has determined the safe upper daily limit at 1,000 I.U.
