Small amounts of this vitamin are needed to stay healthy. In fact, vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin – so fat helps it get absorbed through the gut. And any excess can even be stored in your fatty tissue and liver until you need it. You don’t always need to have fat-soluble vitamins as often as water-soluble vitamins – but it’s still important to get enough of them.
Vitamin E is a vital nutrient that supports your immune system – maintaining healthy skin and eyes, and playing an important role in the formation of red blood cells. It also acts as an antioxidant – helping protect your cells against oxidative damage. Thanks vitamin E!
