Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is mainly found in fats, and its richest sources are plant-based foods. Vitamin E is one of the most powerful antioxidants - it’s not called the “youth vitamin” for nothing. It protects cells from the harmful effects of the environment, and also neutralizes free radicals.
This light-yellow oily liquid has anti-inflammatory properties and is an effective immunomodulator.
Vitamin E is a valuable ingredient in anti-ageing product and boosts cells’ production of collagen and elastin.
