Clinical deficiencies of Vitamin E are more closely associated statistically to the risk of heart disease and strokes than are high cholesterol. What Does Vitamin E Do? Vitamin E defends our bodies against many toxins such as cleaning solvents, radiation and the body’s own free-radical metabolites (highly reactive molecules that can destroy the body’s cells. Free-radical damage is what makes us age and has also been associated with heart disease and cancer. Vitamin E levels may be more closely associated with heart attacks and strokes than total cholesterol levels. Seriously depressed levels of Vitamin E have been found to be predictive of the onset of heart attacks at a rate of 70%, while high blood cholesterol rates were predicative 29% of the time, and high blood pressure rates were only 25% predicative. (source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 53, 326S-334S, 1991.) Vitamin E supplements create a protective shield against many common health risks. Vitamin E protects cell membranes and carrier molecules against damage from heavy metals in our environment such as lead, mercury and other toxic compounds. Adequate Vitamin E may be necessary to convert Vitamin B to its most proactive form. Vitamin E is an aid in the effectiveness of other antioxidant nutrients, especially Vitamins C and A, and selenium. (source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 58, 525-532, 1993.)
