Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects vitamin A and polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation. It is not an anti-sterility agent or needed as a dietary supplement for a variety of functions in the body. While it may have some anti-aging benefits, there is not enough evidence to support this claim. It does not protect the stomach lining from high acid levels.
