Vitamin E is a major fat-soluble antioxidant that is particularly important for maintaining cellular health.* Selenium is an essential trace mineral that has been included as a complement to vitamin E.* 

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient found in many foods. In the body, it acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals.* Free radicals are compounds formed when our bodies convert the food we eat into energy. People are also exposed to free radicals in the environment from cigarette smoke, air pollution, and ultraviolet light from the sun.  The body also needs vitamin E to boost its immune system so that it can fight off invading bacteria and viruses.* It helps to widen blood vessels and keep blood from clotting within them.* In addition, cells use vitamin E to interact with each other and to carry out many important functions.*

Vitamin E is found naturally in foods, but the diets of most Americans provide less than the recommended amounts of vitamin E.  You can get recommended amounts of vitamin E by taking a daily supplement and/or by eating a variety of foods including wheat germ, nuts (such as peanuts, hazelnuts, and, especially, almonds), seeds (like sunflower seeds). And green vegetables, such as spinach and broccoli.   

Vitamin E deficiency is very rare in healthy people. It is almost always linked to certain diseases in which fat is not properly digested or absorbed. Examples include Crohn’s disease, cystic fibrosis, and certain rare genetic diseases. Vitamin E needs some fat for the digestive system to absorb it.  Vitamin E deficiency can cause nerve and muscle damage that results in loss of feeling in the arms and legs, loss of body movement control, muscle weakness, and vision problems. Another sign of deficiency is a weakened immune system.

Vitamin E has many positive effects on our health, and also has some risks.  You need to discuss with your doctor before using any new supplement.  

Some studies link higher intakes of vitamin E from supplements to lower chances of developing coronary heart disease, but more study is needed.*

Most research indicates that vitamin E does not help prevent cancer and may be harmful in some cases. Large doses of vitamin E have not consistently reduced the risk of colon and breast cancer in studies, for example. A large study found that taking vitamin E supplements (180 mg/day [400 IU]) for several years increased the risk of developing prostate cancer in men.* Vitamin E dietary supplements and other antioxidants might interact with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. People undergoing these treatments should talk with their doctor before taking any supplements. Selenium is associated with a lower risk for cancer in men.*

Among people with Age-related Macular Degeneration who were at high risk of developing advanced disease, a supplement containing large doses of vitamin E combined with other antioxidants, zinc, and copper showed promise for slowing down the rate of vision loss.

High doses of vitamin E might increase the risk of bleeding, and increase risk for hemorrhagic strokes;  because of this risk, the upper limit for adults is 1,000 mg/day for vitamin E supplements (1500 IU/day).*
