Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and a major anti-oxidant (slows cellular aging due to oxidation); this antioxidant capability is then also important in helping to prevent degenerative diseases. It also has many other functions: 1) Helps supply oxygen to the blood, thereby reducing fatigue; 2) Helps cellular nourishment; 3) Strengthens the blood vessels walls to keep red blood cells away from destructive substances; 4) Prevents & dissolves blood clots.

Vitamin E is able to protect the skin membranes against damage and ensures immediate replacement of damaged membrane molecules. vitamin E is used most commonly both internally and externally to assist in the repair of skin lesions, ulcers, burns, abrasions, and dry skin and to heal and/or diminish the scars caused from injury or surgery. 

Vit E has been used to help prevent sterility, muscular dystrophy, heart problems, Alzheimer's disease, and skin damage. Possible deficiency symptoms may include: dry skin, rupture of red blood cells, loss of reproductive powers & lack of sexual vitality, abnormal fat deposits in muscles, degenerative changes in the heart and other muscles, and some types of cancer. People who do not absorb fat normally may have deficiency problems. 

Food sources include vegetable oils and margarine, salad dressing and other foods made from vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, wheat germ, and leafy-green vegetables.
