This trial provides more evidence on the role of natural vitamin E and other antioxidants in pregnancy. At least five studies conducted over the last few years have identified an association between low levels of vitamin E and other antioxidants and a higher risk of pre- eclampsia. In addition, Robert Acuff, Professor and Director for Nutrition Research at East Tennessee State University, has conducted research showing that pregnant women and those in their child-bearing years should be taking natural vitamin E supplements. Today there's little dispute about the benefits of vitamin E. Increasing scientific evidence points to this essential nutrient as one of the safest, most inexpensive and proactive things to take for your health, according to published reports. Consumer research recently showed that natural vitamin E supplements are the preferred choice.
Vitamin E is the body's most potent fat soluble antioxidant.
It zaps free radicals which can damage healthy cells and lead to degenerative diseases. Free radicals run rampant in our bodies, especially for those who live in polluted urban areas, exercise, diet, or are exposed to stress. Basically, that describes the majority of the adult population. In fighting free radicals, vitamin E has been shown to protect against heart disease, help to retain memory, reduce the risk of certain cancers, boost the immune system, and preserve skin quality. Thousands of studies published over the past decade point to vitamin E as a key antioxidant.
