Преимущества

Vitamin E is a group of eight fat soluble compounds that include four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Vitamin E deficiency, which is rare and usually due to an underlying problem with digesting dietary fat rather than from a diet low in vitamin E, can cause nerve problems. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant which may help protect cell membranes from reactive oxygen species. Worldwide, government organizations recommend adults consume in the range of 3 to 15 mg per day. As of 2016, consumption was below recommendations according to a worldwide summary of more than one hundred studies that reported a median dietary intake of 6.2 mg per day for alpha-tocopherol.

Formation

Population studies suggested that people who consumed foods with more vitamin E, or who chose on their own to consume a vitamin E dietary supplement, had lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, dementia, and other diseases. However, placebo-controlled clinical trials using alpha-tocopherol as a supplement, with daily amounts as high as 2,000 mg per day, could not always replicate these findings. In the United States vitamin E supplement use peaked around 2002, but has declined by more than half by 2006. The authors theorized that declining use may have been due to publications of large placebo-controlled studies that showed either no benefits or actual negative consequences from high-dose vitamin E

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E is an essential component of the body’s antioxidant defense system. It is only obtained through the diet and has numerous important roles in the body, primarily due to its antioxidant activity. Oxidation has been linked to various conditions and diseases such as cancer, aging, arthritis, and cataracts. However, vitamin E has been found to be effective against these. It can also prevent platelet hyperaggregation, which may lead to atherosclerosis. In addition, vitamin E helps to reduce the production of prostaglandins, such as thromboxane, which cause platelet clumping.

Here are some key points about vitamin E:

 Antioxidant properties: Vitamin E is primarily known for its antioxidant properties. It helps neutralize free radicals and oxidative stress, thereby reducing the risk of cellular damage and inflammation.

Immune function: Vitamin E supports the immune system by promoting the function of immune cells and enhancing the body’s ability to fight off infections.

Skin health: Vitamin E is often found in skincare products due to its ability to moisturize the skin and protect it from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and environmental pollutants. It may also help reduce the appearance of scars and promote wound healing.

Heart health: Some research suggests that vitamin E may have beneficial effects on heart health by reducing inflammation, improving blood vessel function, and preventing the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

Brain health: Vitamin E may also play a role in maintaining cognitive function and reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Источники: Good dietary sources of vitamin E include nuts and seeds (such as almonds, sunflower seeds, and hazelnuts), vegetable oils (such as wheat germ oil, sunflower oil, and safflower oil), green leafy vegetables (such as spinach and kale), and fortified foods.

Deficiency: Vitamin E deficiency is rare but can occur in individuals with certain medical conditions that impair fat absorption, such as cystic fibrosis or liver disease. Symptoms of vitamin E deficiency may include muscle weakness, vision problems, and impaired immune function.
