Researchers uncover vitamin E's healing powers


AgeZone for firm neck skin.

 


Vitamin E has long been known to be good for the skin, but, until now, researchers and dermatologists have been unclear on just how the fat-soluble antioxidant repairs cells and keeps saggy jowls at bay.


A team of scientists at Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) recently discovered that vitamin E is able to get into the membrane of damaging free radicals and prevent them from harming healthy cells. Additionally, it apparently promotes healing by keeping phospholipids in check.


"Without any special effort we consume vitamin E every day and we don't even know what it does in our bodies," said Paul McNeil, M.D., GHSU cell biologist and the study's corresponding author.


The researchers said their findings may explain the association between low vitamin D levels and muscle problems.


Additionally, the discovery may indicate that vitamin E can be a powerful weapon against the signs of aging. Ladies who are concerned about loose neck skin may want to look for the best neck creams that contain vitamin E and other antioxidants, moisturizers and nourishing ingredients.
