Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that prevents the
breakdown of many substances in the body. It is essential for a healthy immune
system. It prolongs the life of red blood cells, protects the lungs, and
inhibits the formation of blood clots. Vitamin E also protects the thymus gland
and white blood cells from damage. Playing a key role in the development of the
retina, it is also essential for healthy eyes. Vitamin E is thought to protect
against effects of aging by helping to inhibit the degeneration of tissues. It
is also believed to protect against memory loss.
