Vitamin E

Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl acetate) is a fat-soluble vitamin and an essential nutrient for humans. Vitamin E is essential for its action as an antioxidant to provide protection for cells against free radical damage, which may lead to disorders such as heart disease and cancer. It is particularly important in protecting cell membranes, DNA and enzymes against damage. It is also essential for the maintenance of a healthy immune system and protecting the eyes from free radical damage.
