Vitamin E Benefits Women

Need some relief with menstrual cramps? Want to try and cut down your risk of heart disease? Vitamin E will help!

A study of adolescent women was conducted using Vitamin E supplements and placebos; the study lasted four years. The women who took Vitamin E prior to their period as well as three days into it, experienced less cramping and blood loss than the participants that only took placebos. Scientists think that the Vitamin E adjusts the prostaglandin levels that affect cramping.

An additional study was done of 40,000 females over the course of 10 years. One group received 300 IU of Vitamin E and the other got placebos pills. The women who were taking Vitamin E were 24% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease. It was also documented that the older the women were, the more they benefited from it. Another finding shows that heart attack occurrences were decreased by 34%.

Add Vitamin E to your daily supplement regimen for increased health and longevity.
