Almost 30% of US adults have low blood levels of vitamin E, which may put them at increased risk for heart disease and cancer. Vitamin E deficiency raises risks for chronic diseases in which low dietary intake or blood concentration of (vitamin E) have been implicated. The authors examined data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a periodic federal government poll focusing on the health of thousands of Americans. Many experts believe the antioxidant properties of vitamin E can help fight cancer, as well as the buildup of cholesterol on artery walls. In fact, the study authors report that subjects' blood cholesterol levels tended to rise alongside falling levels of vitamin E.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

Most of us would benefit from regular vitamin E supplementation, and Living Fuel Omega & E comes with my highest recommendation. These are pure, very high-quality fish oil capsultes that contain both the omega-3 that is so severely lacking in most people's diets AND the full-spectrum vitamin E that is the form of vitamin E you should be taking -- two exceptional supplements in one.
