What vitamin E does in the body

According to MedlinePlus, from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with these normal roles:

• It is an antioxidant: it protects body tissue from damage caused by substances called free radicals.
• It helps form red blood cells.
• It helps the body use vitamin K.
• Cells use it to interact with each other and carry out many important functions.

This describes what the vitamin does in the body; it is not a proven result of this bottle, and the label does not say what it is used for beyond being a dietary supplement.
