It inhibits the production and damaging effects of free radicals, generated during the oxidation processes of cells, as a result, it is protecting the membrane of the cells and also delaying the aging process. Several compounds have this effect, these are known as alpha, beta, delta, and gamma tocopherols.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It has many beneficial effects including the protection of the coronary arteries of the heart, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, and inhibiting blood clots, which could result in thrombosis, heart attack, or stroke. Vitamin E helps to prevent the damage of nerve cells, helps the brain function, reduces the risk of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. It protects the blood vessels of the eye and the lens of the eye, strengthens the immune system, and helps wound healing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In its natural form, it can be found in vegetable oils (sunflower, olive, wheat germ, pumpkin seeds), as well as in grain sprouts and seeds (almonds, hazelnuts). Vitamin E is only stored in the body for a short time, so it is worth paying attention to regular intake. Simultaneous consumption of vitamin C and selenium help its absorption.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"871\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e-vitamin.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"E vitamin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e-vitamin.jpg 871w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e-vitamin-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e-vitamin-768x617.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e-vitamin-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e-vitamin-370x297.jpg 370w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e-vitamin-840x675.jpg 840w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e-vitamin-410x330.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >What does the test show?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>The test can be used to determine the level of vitamin E in the body.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >In what cases is it recommended to perform the test?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The test is recommended in case of suspicion of vitamin E deficiency.
