By James Rickman, SVSVitamin E is a fat soluble antioxidant, playing a key role in protecting cell membranes from damaging oxidation that if not treated could lead to cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It is comprised of eight compounds, called tocopherols and tocotrienols, to create the common E vitamin group. Studies prove vitamin E deficiency is often found in patients with severe malnutrition, genetic defects also associated with children with cystic fibrosis and liver diseases. Other illnesses may include muscle weakness or neurological disorders. See VitaminsSupplements.com or WeightSupplements.net
Vitamin E deficiency symptoms include low birth weights of infants, risk of infections, eye retina and skin complications, cataracts, skeletal myopathy, congestive heart failure and Hemolytic anemia or the breakdown of red blood cells necessary for healthy lifestyles. Research shows that vitamin E deficiency in pets such as dogs and cats can impair immune system response, testicular problems, retinal atrophy, lupus, skin diseases and contribute to mite infestations.
Often found in the unique vitamin E10 are properties of accelerating weight loss. The major producers of vitamin E10 are Canada and Northeastern United States regions. Unlike regular E, the sub-10 variety is a powerful aid to weight loss. Depending on how long you've been taking it, E10 can double the metabolism rates at which the body burns calories—something no other drug has accomplished.

Vitamin E moisturizing creams are especially popular for treating lines, wrinkles, scars, and generating healthy, vibrant skin complexion. Vitamin E oil is used extensively in shampoos, hair conditioners, and skin treatments. Many find the relaxing use of vitamin oils in hot baths most healthy for total body treatments.
The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin E includes infants (200 mg), children (200 mg), teens (300 mg), adults (800 mg), and pregnant women breast feeding (1,000 mg). Although it is recommended to take a daily vitamin supplement, some may derive levels from foods such as olive or canola oil, almonds, spinach, carrots, and peanuts. Some data indicates that vitamin E deficiency is associated with over 50% declines in body weight.
Vitamin E has limited side effects only if taken in large doses over an extended period of time. For example, applied topically as a lotion or salve, vitamin E can occasionally irritate the skin. If ingested orally in larger doses, it can cause headaches, nausea or fatigue. In extreme cases, it could possibly cause blood clotting acting as a blood thinner of sorts.
