Research indicates that Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin, well known for its strong
antioxidant properties. Vitamin E has an incredible reputation for preventing the
overall effects of aging on the skin, while healing internal and external scar tissue.
The vitamin also prevents damage to the body from free radicals, which are often
caused by exposure to poisons and pollutants in our environment. Further study has
shown the internal benefits of Vitamin E as an antioxidant, providing protection
against aging, arthritis, atherosclerosis, cancer, heart disease and thinning blood. In
topical preparations, studies have proven the vitamin to erase wrinkles while
promoting healthy skin and hair.
According to Drs. Harold Weiss-Schuler, author of “Vitamin E: The Cure All,” the lack
of Vitamin E in a diet may cause abnormal eye movements, impaired vision, muscle weakness,
loss of muscle mass and an unsteady posture. In extremely severe cases, a lack of the
vitamin may also cause liver and kidney damage. Recent studies have found where a
deficiency in Vitamin E has been associated with premature delivery in pregnant
women as well as serial miscarriages.
On the other hand, there are several benefits of Vitamin E. They include:
- Prevention of clogged arteries
- Reduction of stroke in post-menopausal women
- Reduction of stroke in individuals undergoing atherosclerosis treatment
- Decrease in the growth of cancer cells
- Improvement among patients with Alzheimer’s disease
- Protection against cataracts
“The overall antioxidant properties of the vitamin help to make it one of the most
incredibly valuable supplements to our daily nutritional health,” says Weiss-
Schuler. “If taken daily, it may work wonders.”
