The benefits of vitamin E/ is it for everyone?

 

Recent research in the United States questions the benefits of vitamin E from exogenous sources to healthy people.

 

A number of researchers and scientists in the United States have questioned the benefits of vitamin E for healthy people. They claim that the average Western diet adequately meets the daily requirement of vitamin E for people in good health. This being the case, adding vitamin E to the diet is unnecessary.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant. Because it is, it has been shown to be vital in slowing down the aging process of cells and in the activity of many enzymes. Vitamin E protects tissues and blood cells from damage caused by toxic substances and pollutants. 

 

Apparently, the damage caused by the oxidative process plays a role in the emergence and exacerbation of a number of diseases. However, it turns out, on the other hand, that the results of many of the studies that have been conducted so far to examine the effects of antioxidants , such as vitamin E, are still subject to doubt and debate.

 

In this research, the results of which were published in the journal JAMA, the researchers found that the vitamin E levels measured in the participants were within the healthy range, and they found no evidence that supplementing the participants with vitamin E - at any dose - would make them feel better and lead to less oxidative damage. .

 

The little information available about the effects of antioxidants in humans is based on testing done on cells under (ideal) laboratory conditions. This test examined the relationship between the antioxidant dose and the body's response, which is the effect on the oxidative capacity of LDL cholesterol. 

 

This test is not considered a reliable measure that reflects the reality of what is going on inside the living body, and through it it is not possible to conclude any fact related to the effect of the oxidation process on other types of fatty substances in the body, or diseases.

 

In this study, the researchers examined the "dose-reaction size relationship" evoked by vitamin E versus oxidative stress in 30 healthy volunteers, aged between 18 and 60 years. The participants were divided into six groups (five participants in each group): a group that received a vitamin E-free drug, and a group that received a drug dose of 200 units, 400 units, 800 units, 1200 units, and 2000 units, respectively. (The unit here is the International Unit of Measurement for Vitamin E, also known as "Alpha Tocopherol"). During the research, the researchers monitored the participants' condition over the course of 8 weeks after treatment.

 

A number of measures related to lipid oxidation were examined through some chemical and physical methods capable of distinguishing the presence of different compounds (including chromatography and spectrophotometry). Measurement samples were taken 1 week before the start of treatment, 2 weeks after the start, 4 weeks after, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks after. As well as after completion of treatment with vitamin E for one week, three weeks, and eight weeks. 

 

The results of the research showed that the levels of vitamin E in the blood increased in parallel with the increase in the dose given, but it was not proven that there was any effect of vitamin E on the levels of oxidative stress.  

 

There are several well-developed systems by which antioxidants protect tissues in humans and animals. But the only advantage of using antioxidants from external sources has to do with the level of deficiency of these substances in the body.
