For centuries, vitamin E has been considered the most effective anti-aging medicine and is very beneficial for the body, from fighting wrinkles to cancer and memory loss.

Vitamin E helps cells develop normally, prevents aging, protects tissues from oxidation, helps create red blood cells, prevents the lungs and other organs from being polluted, prevents the destruction of red blood cells by toxins in the blood, and slows down the aging process of cells.

In particular, natural vitamin E helps prevent dry skin, maintains skin freshness, helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles, and reduces dementia in the elderly.

However, if used in high doses, vitamin E will act as a pro-oxidant, causing damage to cells. Some studies have also shown that people who regularly take high doses of vitamin E will increase the risk of lung cancer by 28%. Therefore, experts recommend supplementing this substance from vegetables and fruits instead of from drugs.

Vitamin E is found in foods of animal and plant origin. It is abundant in vegetable oils and sprouts such as bean sprouts and rice sprouts. In addition, vitamin E is also found in bread, eggs, milk, meat and fish.

Nowadays, many people have the habit of regularly taking 1 vitamin E pill every day for many months, which is not recommended. In case of poor diet, you can supplement with oral medication, but you should only take it for 1-2 months, then stop, and continue taking it after a few months. The safest way to supplement is to eat foods rich in vitamin E such as vegetable oil, sprouted seeds such as bean sprouts, vegetables, eggs, meat, and milk.

In addition, supplementing vitamin E from food also provides other antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin C and some other micronutrients.
