What is vitamin E and why is it added to the diet?

Vitamin E belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins and, in the diet, is regarded primarily as an antioxidant. Its main known role is to help neutralise free radicals — unstable molecules formed under the influence of the environment, physical exertion and natural metabolic processes.

What makes vitamin E special is that it works in cell membranes — the outer shells of cells — where it helps keep them resistant to oxidation. That is why it is often considered in the context of the overall antioxidant balance, frequently together with vitamins A and C.

FARMGRUPP E-vitamiin Plus is a vitamin E option from the vitamins and minerals category. It is usually chosen when you want to add a basic micronutrient to your meals. Remember that a food supplement does not replace a complete diet and is not a means of treating disease.
