Vitamin E
Compound:
Each capsule contains:
Vitamin E 400 mg
Properties:
Vitamin E is considered one of the most important vitamins. Many of its actions are related to its antioxidant properties. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that prevents the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It reacts with free radicals that cause oxidative damage to cell membranes without forming another free radical. Vitamin E protects red blood cells from hemolysis. Protection from oxygen radical damage is important for the development and maintenance of nerve and muscle function.
Indications:
Diseases associated with free radical-induced pathology, such as:
– Cystic fibrosis and arthritic tissue damage.
– Chronic cholestasis.
– Some hemolytic anemias.
– IHD.
– Atherosclerosis.
