Vitamin E is a fat‐soluble antioxidant
It primarily comprises two families:
Tocopherols
α-Tocopherol (most active and abundant form found in human tissues)
β-Tocopherol
γ-Tocopherol
δ-Tocopherol
Tocotrienols
α-Tocotrienol
β-Tocotrienol γ-Tocotrienol
δ-Tocotrienol
-Vitamin E can neutralize free radicals, which are reactive molecules that may damage cells and potentially contribute to cancer development. This antioxidant property has led researchers to explore whether vitamin E could help protect cells from damage during cancer treatment.
-Cancer Prevention: Some epidemiological studies suggested that higher intake of vitamin E (usually through diet rather than supplements) might be associated with a lower risk of certain cancers.
