VITAMIN E - Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is important in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease. It improves circulation, is necessary for tissue repair, and is useful in treating premenstrual syndrome and fibrocystic disease of the breast. It promotes normal blood clotting and healing, reduces scarring from some wounds, reduces blood pressure aids in preventing cataracts, improves athletic performance, and relaxes leg cramps. Vitamin E can enhance sperm production in some men. It also maintains healthy nerves and muscles while strengthening capillary walls. In additional, it promotes healthy skin and hair, and helps to prevent anemia and retrolental fibroplasia. A 1998 study by the National Cancer Institute found that long-term use of vitamin E substantially reduced prostate cancer risk in smokers. Other studies suggest that this vitamin may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Thus far, vitamin E has been shown to protect against approximately eighty diseases.
