Why you need it
Vitamin E embeds in cell membranes and protects the fats inside them from oxidation by free radicals. It supports immune function and blood vessel health.
Do you need to watch it
Vitamin E deficiency is rare with a normal diet — it mainly occurs with fat absorption problems. A handful of seeds or almonds, or a tablespoon of sunflower oil, covers a good portion of the daily value. High-dose supplements may affect blood clotting.
