Vitamin E (α-Tocopherol) (C₂₉H₅₀O₂)
Tocopherols, from vitamin E, are clinically shown to reduce oxidative stress, while also protecting the integrity of additional carotenoids, helping to lower the occurrence of common age-related issues affecting eyesight. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant and has an ability to modulate immune functions. It is an important nutrient for maintaining the immune system, especially in the aged. Intake above currently recommended levels of vitamin E may improve immune and inflammatory responses and be associated with a reduced risk of infectious disease.
