Vitamin e
An essential nutrient and antioxidant that's beneficial at normal food and supplement levels.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin your body needs for cell protection and immune function. Food and drink fortified with it, or naturally containing it, provide amounts far below levels of concern. Problems only show up with long-term, high-dose supplements far beyond what food or fortified drinks provide.

Why it matters
Vitamin E is a group of compounds (the main one is alpha-tocopherol) that your body needs. It acts as an antioxidant, meaning it helps protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. It's naturally found in nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, and leafy greens, and is often added to beverages, cereals, and supplements to boost nutritional value or as a preservative for fats in the product. Almost everyone benefits from getting enough vitamin E, and true deficiency is rare in people with normal diets.
