Vitamin E (D-alpha tocopherol, safflower oil, Purified Water, Glycerin
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties that helps defend our cells from free radical damage. IDLife's Vitamin E supplement is natural, as opposed to synthetic and exists as eight different isomers including alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocopherol and tocotrienol forms.
Benefits of Vitamin E
May help support a healthy blood pressure, muscle contraction, and overall cardiovascular function.
A powerful antioxidant that may help the body's fight against the ill effects of UV damage on the skin.
Heart
There is increasing clinical evidence that oxidation of LDL plays a major role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Atherosclerotic plaque formation is the underlying basis for CAD. Oxidized LDL had been found in atherosclerotic lesions and in human plasma autoantibodies against oxidized LDL are found. Vitamin E has been shown to protect LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. Individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease may be at higher risk of developing heart-related problems. Vitamin E supplementation, taken early on, may be beneficial for individuals with such a family history. Vitamin E is an effective antioxidant agent, and researchers suggest that it may play a significant role in reducing the progression of cardiovascular disease by lowering C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.
Immunity
Previous studies have emphasized vitamin E's success on aging adults and their increased risk for developing respiratory infection. A 2017 study tested its success on young (22–35 years) and older individuals (65–69 years) and found alpha-tocopherol (from vitamin E) is successful in both groups as a potent modulator of Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (a family of white blood cells which include immune cells), boosting elastane activity and combating pneumococcal infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria which can lead to many types of illness including pneumonia.
