Description
"Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) is an antioxidant that helps to maintain cell integrity. It is easily obtained from sunflower, safflower, canola, and olive oils; also from many grains, nuts, fruits as well as fatty parts of meats.
Research using vitamin E at far higher doses than the daily requirement has provided evidence that it may be useful in preventing or treating numerous medical conditions, including; menstrual pain, cardiac autonomic neuropathy (a complication of diabetes), low sperm count, restless leg syndrome, inflammation of eye tissues, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin E also might improve seniors' immune response.
Vitamin E has been promoted as a vitamin useful in preventing cardiovascular disease. But most of the recent studies have failed to support that premise. It is important to note however that many of those studies looked only at individuals already at high risk for heart disease or with a prior history of it cardiovascular disease. Current evidence with vitamin E is promising in the prevention of prostate cancer.*
