Vitamin E is the most important fat-soluble antioxidant present in human tissues. It is found in the lipid-rich areas of cells such as in cell membranes and the brain. It is at these sites where it acts to stabilise and protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals, heavy metals, and environmental toxins. Vitamin E plays an important role in the health and integrity of the lipid-rich nerve cells. Vitamin E also supports immune function through its effects upon the thymus gland, and particularly during times of oxidative stress and chronic viral illnesses. Research has demonstrated a preference for natural source vitamin E by various body tissues, including the brain and spinal cord, it also offers protection against Parkinson's disease, cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease. Recently, a team of researchers reviewed 380 studies on Alzheimer's disease and their final recommendations for clinical treatment were approved by the American Academy of Neurology and the Alzheimer's Association. Vitamin E provides significant benefit in protecting against heart disease and stroke. Early research from the 1940s demonstrated the effectiveness of vitamin E in relieving hot flushes, and other symptoms. Research suggests that vitamin E is beneficial in reducing UV damage, effects of ozone, reducing UV-induced skin cancer, accelerating wound healing e.g. leg ulcers, and helping reduce facial wrinkles.
