Vitamin E

Risotriene benefits disease Tocopherol: Natural Super Vitamin E - the loyal antioxidant that's with you 24 hours a day The various forms of vitamin E, especially tocopherols and tocotrienols, are major components of Risotriene. The best form overall of vitamin E is natural mixed tocopherols, the type which is found in food. By contrast, the cheaper but less effective unmixed tocopherols are often found in synthetic vitamin formulations. Among the many advantages of vitamin E are: Vitamin E, an oil soluble vitamin, is with you 24 hours a day. Most other antioxidants such as vitamin C, pycnogenol®, CoQ10 and lipoic acid are water soluble and only last six to eight hours. Immune boost - Vitamin E acetate stimulated the immune system of animals in a University of Colorado study. Animals given vitamin E showed a ten-fold increase in B cell performance, and a 3.5-fold increase in T cell activity [11]. B cells and T cells are a major line of defense against infectious processes from colds to cancer. T-cells are a major factor in the prevention of AIDS-related symptoms. The immune system can be either underactive (colds or cancer) or overactive (allergy, autoimmune diseases). Pesticide protection - Exposure to pesticides and chemicals can cause brain symptoms which can mimic Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin E stands guard at the cell membrane to keep these toxins out of the cell. [12] Vitamin E helps the blood use oxygen more efficiently and improves the production of antibodies against disease agents. [13] It helps prevent an excessive buildup of platelets which can cause blood clots which can lead to heart attack and stroke. [14, 15] Vitamin E can also help repair the cells lining the blood vessels. [16, 17] Much lower risk of heart disease - Vitamin E has a significant protective effect on the prevention of heart disease in men and women. [18, 19] Two studies done at Harvard Medical School on large populations bear this out. In one study, 87,245 women who took 100 IU - a relatively low dose - of vitamin E daily for more than two years had a 46% lower heart disease risk. [20] In another study, 39,910 male health professionals who took 100 IU of vitamin E had a 37% lower heart disease risk. [21] Cancer Institute says Vitamin E can protect against bowel cancer. [22]
