Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that was first discovered in 1922. It has been shown by several studies to be an effective companion therapy to other herbal and nutritional treatments in delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease and lessening its severity. Vitamin E can help in the battle against anemia, asthma, cancer, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis. This vitamin can also accelerate wound healing, protect lung tissue from pollutants, and promote healthy skin and hair.
