Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which means it neutralises the free radicals that cause cell and tissue damage. In addition your body needs vitamin E to make the red blood cells that enable blood to transport oxygen.
Your body needs vitamin E. Fortunately it is readily available. You can buy the stuff in 50 Kg (110 lb) drums from Nutrakey Industries in China. While you’re about it why not stock up on a 25 Kg (55 lb) drum of vitamin C from the same supplier?
The Problem of Free Radicals
In simple terms free radicals are molecules, ions or even some individual atoms that are hungry for electrons. They steal electrons from wherever they can find them. Free radicals are bad news because they can steal electrons from the vital molecules inside your cell thus disrupting the functioning of those cells. Free radicals have been shown to be involved in a variety of serious afflictions from cancer to premature aging. Free radicals are also involved in heart disease. They react with LDL particles stuck in the arterial wall causing inflammation and the immune response that leads to the formation of atheromous plaque.
