That's why we recommend getting vitamin E from foods. Rich sources of vitamin E include nuts, vegetable oils, whole grains and wheat germ. None of these nutrients protected against oxidation. We can't rule out the possibility that higher doses of vitamin E in pills may be protective.

Studies also show that getting plenty of vitamin E improves immunity and promotes wound healing.
