4. It Helps Improve Joint Health
Experts say vitamin E is an important antioxidant that protects the joint against oxidative damage. In fact 1,200 to 1,800 IU of this vitamin daily may ease pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis⁶.
Moreover, E vitamins may help in recovery after working out, since it can neutralize exercise-related free radicals.
5. It Boosts The Immunity
As we age, our immune system declines. The good news is, tocopherols can support our immunity.
The results of a series of studies conducted between 1990 to 1997 showed that giving vitamin E supplements to the elderly could help boost their immune response.
Let’s also not forget that doctors sometimes prescribe vitamin E to reduce the harmful effects of medical treatments, such as radiation therapy and dialysis. This is significantly due to the vitamin’s antioxidant properties that fight free radicals in the body.
There is also adequate evidence that a diet high in E vitamins can improve cellular immunity by inducing higher differentiation in immature T cells (immune cells).
