Book excerpt: Vitamin E Alpha-tocopherol, also known as vitamin E, is a fat-soluble vitamin that functions as a potent antioxidant to shield cells from free radical damage and is important for immune system health. It must be included in your diet because it is a necessary vitamin. Dietary fat is necessary for the efficient transport and utilization of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin E, throughout the body. Since vitamin E is naturally present in many meals containing fat, such as vegetable oils, eggs, meat, poultry, and nuts, Mother Nature has made this task simple. Additionally, broccoli, spinach, kiwifruit, mango, and tomato contain vitamin E. The liver absorbs vitamin E once it is absorbed in the small intestine and stores it there until it is required. At that time, the liver only secretes alpha-tocopherol again, which the body can identify. Your immune system benefits from vitamin E, which also supports healthy skin, eyes, and brain function. Despite the rarity of vitamin E deficiency, maintaining health and preventing and treating disease depend on achieving daily vitamin E needs. Several circumstances can lead to vitamin E insufficiency. Premature infants with low birth weight are one example. It is also possible among those who have an illness that impairs the body's ability to effectively absorb dietary fat, such as Crohn's disease or cystic fibrosis. 1 To lower the risk of problems, both require supplements.
