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.
