Superfood Science
We looked at the science for you. Our key to a superfood is vitamin E. It's important to vision, reproduction, your blood, brain and skin.
Harvard health says a form of vitamin E called alpha-tocopherol is the powerful antioxidant your body uses. And the Mayo clinic notes "antioxidants might protect your cells."
Antioxidants scavenge loose electrons, called "free radicals," that can damage cells. Free radicals can come from digesting food, or exposure to tobacco smoke and radiation. They might play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
Fact Check:
Vitamin E is fat-soluble. People who don't absorb fat properly can develop a deficiency.
Common signs include:
- Retinopathy (damage to the retina of the eyes)
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Ataxia (loss of control of body movements)
- Decreased immune function
