Healthcast 699 - Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) Is Vital to Healthy Aging
Episode 699
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog Why should I worry about taking Vitamin E when it comes to aging? Vitamin E is an antioxidant that keeps your brain healthy, your immune system working effectively, and decreases the inflammation throughout your body. Women with Fibrocystic Breast Disease, should take two supplements Vitamin E and Iodoral (Iodine) every day. **People with the highest levels of alpha-tocopherol (the form of vitamin E that circulates throughout your body) had the lowest mortality rate over a 20-year study. These patients had lower risk of heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune disease including rheumatoid arthritis. **In another long-term study patients with chronic lung disease had a decreased mortality. Vitamin E also counteracts the liver damage from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, in the same class as Vitamin A and D and is vital to healthy aging. Because it is a fat-soluble vitamin it is possible to store Vitamin E and one should not take too much of it because the body stores it! You can start taking Vitamin E in your food: Nuts like Almonds, sunflower seeds and pine nuts Oils like Olive oil and Sunflower oil and wheat germ Animal products like Salmon, rainbow trout and eggs Vegetables like Spinach, Broccoli, Avocados Fruit like Kiwi, Mango and Blackberries So how much Vitamin E should you take a day? For adults the required dose is 400-800 IUs/ day Ideally, we should take Vitamin E as a preventive measure to ensure our health and to delay our mortality. Eating vitamin E is a good way to get it, but taking a supplemental vitamin E helps when your diet is not optimal.
