The Unknown Benefits Of Vitamin E
By S. Wagner

Vitamin E is one of those funny vitamins. Very few people REALLY know what it's good for. Maybe that's because it's not as widely talked about as vitamins like C, which is supposed to be good for fighting off colds and vitamin A, which is supposed to be good for your eye site. If you think I'm kidding, have you ever seen a rabbit with glasses? But vitamin E is a very misunderstood vitamin. Well, hopefully, after reading this article, you'll have a better idea of what vitamin E is good for.

First, a true story. When I was a kid, I got into a lot of trouble. I was just looking for it. Well, one day I got into a scrape with this kid who ended up taking a tree branch to the side of my face. Well, don't ask. I had a cut that went from just below my right eye all the way down to my cheek, and deep as all heck. Well, I went home and my mother, after screaming like a banshee, sat me down and went to the refrigerator to get out, of all things, a bottle of vitamin E capsules. At first I thought the woman had lost her mind. But she then proceeded to take the capsules, cut then in half with a knife, and pour the contents, which I have to say smelled like, well, let's just say they didn't smell good, onto my face. She did this everyday for about a week. By the time the scab disappeared, about two weeks later, there was absolutely no sign of any scar. It was as if I had never been cut at all.

Now, if vitamin E has that kind of healing power on your face, imagine what it can do from the inside. But that's not the only benefit of vitamin E that many people don't know about. Vitamin E actually helps your immune system. While most people think that it's vitamin C only that keeps us from getting sick, it's really vitamin E that pumps up our immune system so that we are more resistant to colds.

You do have to be careful with vitamin E because unlike vitamin C, which is immediately secreted in the urine, vitamin E can be toxic if you go way beyond the recommended daily allowance. So consult with your nutritionist before you decide on how much vitamin E you're going to take.

The truth is, there is still a lot about vitamin E that we don't know. Some studies show that their might be some benefit from vitamin E in relation to problems like heart disease and diabetes, but the jury is still out on a lot of things when it comes to this mysterious vitamin.

All I know is that I don't have to worry about anybody calling me scarface in my old age.

To YOUR Health,
