Facts about Vitamin E - Vitamins

Welcome to our Facts about Vitamin E guide.

Vitamin E is a water-soluble vitamin that can be found in many natural food sources. It is extremely rare for an individual to develop a deficiency in vitamin E because it is available in such a wide variety of foods. 

Many people are aware that vitamin E is beneficial for healthy skin and nails but they are not aware of the many other beneficial facts about Vitamin E.

Not only does Vitamin E promote healthy skin and hair, but it also has many protective qualities as well. Vitamin E is essential in protecting cells and membranes located throughout the body as well as protecting other vitamins such as Vitamin A. Specifically, vitamin E works to protect other vitamins from being destroyed by free radicals. Due to these protective qualities, vitamin E is considered to be an important anti-oxidant.

Other facts about Vitamin E include its ability to lower blood pressure and blood sugar, which may be important for diabetics and those people suffering from high blood pressure, or who are at risk for cardiovascular disease. While it is extremely rare for a person to develop a deficiency in vitamin E, due to its inclusion in so many varied foods, it does happen.

People who suffer from diseases which interfere with the body’s ability to absorb fat, may be at risk for vitamin E deficiency.

There are no known major side effects related to the use of vitamin E, although, it is not recommended that the vitamin be taken in large doses. Ingesting large doses of vitamin E does not appear to provide any additional health benefits, and as vitamin E is a water-soluble vitamin, the body will only excrete any excess amounts anyway.

One exception to drug interactions is noted. Since one of vitamin E’s health benefits include its ability to thin blood, people taking anti-coagulants should be very cautious about ingesting any additional vitamin E, other than is naturally found within their diet. The combination of the two can result in a tendency to bleed freely.

Facts about vitamin E and supplements that are available:

Vitamin E is naturally found within many foods, so it is usually not necessary to supplement the diet with this nutrient. There are lotions and oils made from vitamin E that are beneficial in reducing the appearance of scars and in promoting healthy nails and skin.
