Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that its absorption is dependent upon dietary fat absorption. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, working with selenium and vitamin C to protect cells from the damaging effects of free-radicals, which are natural by-products of energy production. Studies are currently underway to determine whether or not vitamin E can help protect the body from heart disease and cancer. Vitamin E also plays a role in immune function, metabolism and helps to maintain healthy genetic material (DNA).

Vitamin E may help protect against heart disease and cancer by protecting cells from free-radical damage and maintaining healthy DNA.
