Benefits of Vitamin E

Of all the nutrients working together to defend your body’s cells, vitamin E is believed by some researchers to be the most important.** It loves your skin (maybe even more than you do) and scurries to the surface as soon as ultraviolet light hits-with fists drawn, ready to fight free radicals so you can keep that youthful, wrinkle-free look longer.**
