Vitamin E scavenges for the dangerous oxygen radicals in the cell membrane.
Vitamin E is part of the fat-soluble family. It's second only to Vitamin C in popularity and functionality. Recent studies have found that Vitamin C and Vitamin E work together synergistically, that is, when they work together they have a greater effect then they otherwise would on their own. For instance, Vitamin E scavenges for the dangerous oxygen radicals in the cell membrane, while Vitamin C breaks the free radical chain in the biologic fluids.
In fact it is as a powerful antioxidant that Vitamin E excels. Vitamin E is the subject of numerous fields of study. Scientists the world over have tested, and are testing still, different aspects and potential applications for Vitamin E. These tests range from cardiovascular health to prostate cancer to anti-aging. It seams as though 'E' is everywhere these days. But scientists and vitamin suppliers have a vested interest in 'E' because the human body does not produce this vitamin itself. The body must obtain it from an outside source.
The problem of deficiency occurs in a great many people because 'E' is found predominantly in vegetable oils, nuts and the like. This becomes a two-fold problem. First, as people become more health-conscious, they are avoiding the very foods containing the highest levels of natural vitamin E. Second, 'E' breaks down in during preservation and preperation. Consequently, Vitamin E Deficiency has become an issue for many and thus supplementation a necessity.
