You're probably well aware of the benefits of vitamin E for your skin. It's most likely an ingredient in some of your body care products, but did you know that tocopherol (a compound collectively known as "vitamin E") is what gives this nutrient such powerful benefits?
Tocopherol is found in many products and foods and has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It has been studied for a range of health conditions, from cancer to vision loss and Alzheimer's disease.
It also reduces skin damage, promotes healthy aging and boosts immunity.
