The 100% natural NOW E-1000 is a powerful antioxidant, essential for protecting cells from free radicals. Free radicals are harmful by-products that arise from metabolic processes in the body and affect cells.
Vitamin E prevents the breakdown of saturated fatty acids and their union with vitamin A, substances quite harmful to the body. Vitamin E also has the ability to combine with oxygen, preventing its conversion into toxic peroxides. Additionally, it helps maintain the elasticity of the cell walls of spermatozoa, enhancing their motility and preventing their fusion.
It makes muscles and nerves function with less oxygen, thereby increasing their endurance and strength. It causes the dilation of blood vessels, allowing better blood flow to the heart. It prevents atherosclerosis because it enters the LDL cholesterol molecule, inhibiting its destructive oxidation caused by free radical attacks. Thus, vitamin E is another plus in the fight against coronary artery disease.
Scientific data show that frequent consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, however, these data are still limited.
