Vitamin E refers to a group of eight fat-soluble compounds that
include both tocopherols and tocotrienols. Vitamin E acts as an
antioxidant in the human body and prevents cell damage by
inhibiting the oxidation of fats and prevents the formation of
free radicals. Vitamin E supplements can retard cellular aging,
supply oxygen to the body and protect your lungs against air
pollution. Vitamin E supplements can also prevent scarring when
applied topically as well as taken internally. Vitamin E also
works as a vasodilator and anticoagulant.
