I just wanted to take a few minutes to give an overview of vitamin E and all the things that I think are worth knowing about it, including any health benefits. It is a fat soluble compound which generally acts as an anti-oxidant. You may also hear it referred to as tocopherol or tocotrienol, alpha tocopherol being the most important form.
The therapeutic benefits of supplementing with vitamin E appear to be few, if any. It’s effects on cancer as a whole are not well understood and the evidence to support supplementing for this purpose are insufficient. One large scale study was stopped because it was found to increase the risk of prostate cancer.
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is 15 mg per day in adolescents and young adults, although supplementation is not recommended for the general population
Vitamin E has may be referred to other names including tocopherol, tocotrienol, alpha tocopherol, and gamma tocopherol. It is a known antioxidant against reactive oxygen species.
