STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that boosts immune function in older adults, helping to fight off infections and improve overall health
  • Good sources of vitamin E include green leafy vegetables, certain fruits like kiwi and mango, and grass fed meats
  • Beyond immunity, vitamin E protects against cell damage, promotes heart and brain health, and supports healthy vision
  • While food is the best source of vitamin E, many people benefit from a vitamin E supplement due to high linoleic acid intake in the Western diet, which increases your body’s need for vitamin E
  • Look for natural vitamin E supplements (d-alpha-tocopherol) with a full spectrum of tocopherols and tocotrienols, free from soy and GE ingredients
