Vitamin E, also known as alpha-tocopherol, is a leading antioxidant. It protects the body from oxidation - a normal ageing process by which oxygen breaks down your body's tissues. It works to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that are everywhere around us. They can damage your body's healthy molecules by taking electrons to balance themselves. When your body has enough vitamin E the unstable free radicals get their electrons from the vitamin E molecules and leave the healthy molecules alone. This means that they cause less damage to your tissues. Vitamin E helps to prevent arteries from clogging by blocking the conversion of cholesterol into the waxy fat deposits called "plaque" that stick to your blood vessel walls. Vitamin E also thins your blood, allowing it to flow more easily through your arteries even when plaque is present. Vitamin E may benefit skin health in several ways. Its antioxidant properties can help prevent premature ageing and help your skin to heal from damage caused either by the sun or injury. Vitamin E also interacts with Vitamin A in your body, enhancing the ability of both vitamins to heal and protect the skin. Taking a vitamin E supplement daily may help promote skin health.
