  Vitamin E with Selenium


Selenium working synergistically with Vitamin E is known to yield powerful antioxidant activity.

Vitamin E Benefits

  • Asthma – improves cellular oxidative defense which may counteract the inflammation and deficient respiration associated with asthma.

  • Cancer – Selenium acts as a preventative with esophageal and stomach cancers, as well as colon and rectal cancers. Vitamin E is known to be helpful in reducing the risk of lung and breast cancer.

  • Cardiovascular Disease – regular intake of both Vitamin E and Selenium improves cardiac risk profile and helps reduce the risk of heart disease.

  • Immunity – both of these antioxidants, Selenium and Vitamin E, help stimulate the function of immune cells throughout the body and are recognized as being beneficial to strengthening the immune system.

  • Menopause - Studies show Vitamin E to be effective in relieving hot flashes and menopausal vaginal complaints.

  • Alzheimer's - People of retirement age who took supplements of both vitamin E and C daily saw their risk of Alzheimer's disease plummet by almost 80 per cent, a new study shows.

It appears that when the two vitamins are taken in high doses they work together to protect neurons. The use of these antioxidant vitamins may offer an attractive strategy for the prevention of Alzheimer disease. It appears the high dose of vitamin available in individual supplements is what provided the additional protection.

Vitamin supplements - and vitamins E and C - have been touted for years as effective against a host of conditions, including cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer.

Vitamin E and Selenium are also important in helping to maintain optimum skin health as well as being beneficial to people with liver problems.

Vitamin E decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease-related death among healthy women in the Women's Health Trial, a long-term study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) (294, 1:56-65, 2005).

Everyone is exposed to free radicals that are detrimental to their health. Free radicals have a significant influence in making aging less than the healthy and long process it should be. Free radicals have a significant influence on aging and free radical-mediated damage can be controlled with adequate antioxidant defenses.

All E is not created equal!

SuperbHerbs' all natural dry E is beyond compare. It's an E you can feel! We have added 25 mcg of selenium to make it work even better. Studies show that vitamin E helps control unsaturated fatty acids, improves circulation, healing wounds, skin problems, heart problems, diabetes, and phlebitis. We have added Vegetable Lipase enzyme and Lecithin for their help in breaking down fats. This is one of our best sellers.
