Vitamins For Youth, Health and Healing Check Out Vitamin E

some people to experience heart problems and cancer. Studies are still inconclusive
and there seems to be several opinions as to the ultimate outcome of the benefits of
Vitamin E to seriously impact these two major health concerns. Whether Vitamin E
will ultimately become a viable treatment for those at high risk for heart disease and
cancer remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, the benefits of Vitamin E as an antioxidant to help fight aging continue to
be touted. Vitamin E supplements are also prescribed in some cases to help those
adults at risk for developing cataracts.

Some manufacturers of cold sore medications include Vitamin E to help speed the
healing process. A combination of Vitamin E and aloe vera seems to be a very
popular remedy that many claim to be very effective in the treatment of severely
chapped lips, cold sores and minor infections.

Two groups of people seem to be most at risk for low levels of Vitamin E in the body.
Some people have trouble absorbing all fat-soluble vitamins and may show
symptoms of deficiencies of several vitamins, including E. Babies who are born
prematurely may also be at risk for some time following birth. Some other factors
may play a role, including the tendency toward extremely poor eating habits and even
some genetic disorders.

Oils tend to be high in Vitamin E with sunflower oil being near the top of that list. A
single tablespoon of sunflower oil may provide up to a quarter of the daily
recommended allowance for Vitamin E. Corn oil is another viable source. Peanuts,
sunflower kernels and almonds are also good sources of this important vitamin.

While there are many uses and effects of sufficient daily consumption of Vitamin E,
there continues to be a focus of using Vitamin E as an anti-aging agent. Nearly a
decade ago, results of studies indicated that this vitamin slowed the aging process in
laboratory experiments. Today, anti-aging creams and cosmetics often include
Vitamin E.
