Vitamin E as Vitamin E Succinate
E succinate is one of several forms of vitamin E, a fat-soluble
vitamin that works as a very powerful antioxidant to protect
our body from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals
can damage cells, which can lead to cancer, cardiovascular
disease, and accelerated aging. Vitamin E may prevent or delay
chronic diseases.
Vitamin E can be found in wheat germ, almonds, spinach, mango,
soybean, kiwifruit, corn, peanuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds,
whole grains, fish, and green, leafy vegetables. Our body
can absorb and utilize both natural and synthetic forms of
vitamin E.
