Vitamin E protects every cell in the body from free radicals through its antioxidant properties and this protective role has put vitamin E at the centre of worldwide research. Studies indicate that it may help maintain the health of the heart by protecting polyunsaturated fats in the body from being oxidised into saturated fats and so protect all membranes including those in the lungs and blood vessels. It further may help maintain muscle and nerve function; bring nourishment to cells; strengthen capillary walls; protect red blood cells from being destroyed by poisons, such as hydrogen peroxide, in the blood; promote healthy immune function; and thin the blood by decreasing platelet aggregation (stickiness).Lamberts® supplies vitamin E in its natural form of d-alpha tocopherol, as this is the form in which it occurs in foods and as research has confirmed that it has a higher biological activity, and is absorbed and retained more readily by the body than synthetic vitamin E.
