Vitamin E is no one-trick pony: the revered nutritionist Adelle Davis describes it as the ‘Guardian Angel’ that protects and enhances other vitamins and fatty acids, blood cells and proteins, hormones, and organs such as the liver and kidneys.

In fact she says that ‘Vitamin E is unique in playing a role in a wider variety of body functions than almost any other nutrient’, and modern research suggests that it may play a role in the prevention or treatment of a raft of common problems.

They include acne, Alzheimer’s disease, anaemia, angina, asthma, atherosclerosis, bladder cancer, blood clots, breast cancer, bruising (easily), burns, cataracts, diabetes, epilepsy, fatigue (after light exertion), fibrocystic breast disease, gallstones, gout, Graves’ disease, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, infertility, irritable bowel disorder, low sex drive, macular degeneration, menopause, migraine, miscarriages, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, muscle weakness, oral cancers, osteoarthritis, Parkinson’s disease, peptic ulcers, PMS, prostate cancer, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, scarring, slow wound healing, strokes, varicose veins and viral diseases.
