GNC Vitamin E 400 100 softgels

Vitamin E improves blood circulation, is necessary for tissue regeneration, is useful in premenstrual syndrome and in the treatment of fibrotic breast diseases. It ensures normal blood clotting and healing; reduces the possibility of scarring from some wounds; lowers blood pressure; helps prevent cataracts; improves athletic performance; relieves leg cramps; supports the health of nerves and muscles; strengthening the walls of the capillaries; prevents anemia.

As an antioxidant, vitamin E protects cells from damage by slowing down the oxidation of lipids (fats) and the formation of free radicals. It protects other fat-soluble vitamins from oxygen degradation, promotes the absorption of vitamin A and protects it from oxygen. Vitamin E slows down aging, can prevent the appearance of age-related pigmentation.

Vitamin E is also involved in the formation of collagen and elastic fibers of the intercellular substance. Tocopherol prevents increased blood clotting, has a beneficial effect on peripheral circulation, participates in the biosynthesis of heme and proteins, cell proliferation, the formation of gonadotropins, and the development of the placenta.

However, it should be remembered that vitamin E plays a preventive role - it cannot repair the damage already present. Participants in some studies that did not find any anti-cancer efficacy of vitamin E had smoked or a healthy diet for many years. Neither medicine nor vitamin can reverse the tissue breakdown caused by decades of unhealthy lifestyles. For example, a daily intake of 400 Int. units vitamin E can prevent the conversion of nitrites (certain substances found in smoked and pickled foods) into carcinogenic nitrosamines; however, it will not reverse the conversion of nitrosamines to nitrites.

In addition, vitamin E is more effective in the presence of other antioxidant nutrients. Its anti-cancer protective effect is particularly markedly enhanced by vitamin C.

So, the main functions that vitamin E performs in the body can be formulated as follows:

• protects cellular structures from destruction by free radicals (acts as an antioxidant);
• participates in heme biosynthesis;
• prevents blood clots;
• participates in the synthesis of hormones;
• supports immunity;
• has an anticarcinogenic effect;
• ensures the normal functioning of the muscles.
