VITAMIN E

🛡️ Antioxidant Protection: Neutralizes free radicals and protects cell membranes from oxidative stress, especially in muscles, joints, and cardiovascular tissue.

💪 Muscle Recovery: Reduces exercise-induced oxidative damage and supports faster muscle recovery after physical activity.

🧠 Neurological & Cognitive Support: Helps maintain nervous system function; associated with reduced risk of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders.

❤️ Cardiovascular Health: Prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol, supports blood vessel health, and may reduce risk of atherosclerosis.

🦠 Immune Function: Enhances T-cell function and supports the body's defense against infections—particularly in older adults.

🧬 Skin & Tissue Repair: Supports skin healing, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue regeneration in wounds or sun damage.
 
Vitamin E protects musculoskeletal tissues from oxidative stress, reduces inflammation, & supports muscle recovery—making it beneficial for both active individuals & those managing chronic joint or muscle issues.
