Scientists claim that vitamin E may be helpful in preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Vitamin E also supports red blood cell production, enhances immune system, supports cellular membrane stability and protects the heart and brain function. Vitamin E and C (both antioxidant vitamins) work together to prevent the oxidation that causes clogs in blood vessel walls.
