Vitamin E can be a nutritional supplement for individuals looking for support with heart function, but also with the immune system, or as a preventative against oxidative stress.
Vitamin E, which is stored in adipose tissue, has very important antioxidant properties and protects the body's cells against the harmful effects of oxidative stress and degeneration, thus combating ageing.
It is also involved in different metabolisms (neuromuscular, for example) and participates in the regulation of cell growth.

It is known to protect against cardiovascular diseases by controlling the formation of blood clots and reducing bad cholesterol (LDL), thus reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Vitamin E also helps prevent some cancers (particularly prostate cancer in smokers) and some infectious diseases (through the immune system).
Vitamin E is made up of different compounds categorised as follows: 4 forms of tocopherols (alpha-tocopherol, beta-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol and delta-tocopherol) and 4 forms of tocotrienols (alpha-tocotrienol, beta-tocotrienol, gamma-tocotrienol en delta-tocotrienol).

Tocotrienols are distinguished by their three double bonds, they have more unsaturated bonds and therefore penetrate more easily into cells. Alpha-tocopherol is the form most present in the body, but for the effects of vitamin E to be fully beneficial, it is necessary to accumulate all its compounds.
Known for less time than tocopherols, TOCOTRIENOLS have been shown to have particularly interesting health benefits, being able to reduce the risk of attack in the case of atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries and PREVENTING ISCHEMIC STROKE. Tocotrienols also have the ability to regulate and reduce the cholesterol produced by the liver, a property that tocopherols do not have.
