What else Vitamin E does

In addition to what I have spoken about, there are other things that Vitamin E does. It has a major effect on red blood cells and hemoglobin. Vitamin E is part of the formation process of red blood cells as well as the synthesis and maintenance of red blood cells and their constituents. They also affect the synthesis of hemoglobin a major constituent of red blood cells.

Vitamin E is essential for reproduction and fertility. It is also thought to block the formation of carcinogens formed from nitrites that we consume in our diet. Carcinogens promote cancer cell formation and growth.

Because of it's antioxidant properties, Vitamin E is thought to also protect against cancer formation because of how it enhances the immune system.
