Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient found in many foods. It is the most abundant antioxidant in the skin and the most important lipid-soluble, membrane-bound antioxidant in the body. The body also needs vitamin E to boost its immune system so that it can fight off invading bacteria and viruses. It helps to widen blood vessels and keep blood from clotting within them. In addition, cells use vitamin E to interact with each other and to carry out many important functions.
