Vitamin E is a bodyguard for your body's cells. As a powerful antioxidant, it helps shield them from daily stressors and supports your immune system. You'll often find Vitamin E in fat-rich whole foods like nuts, seeds, and plant oils. This is perfect, because your body absorbs this vitamin best when it's paired with healthy fats, making these sources a naturally brilliant combination.
