Vitamin E like Vitamin C is a a powerful antioxidant. However it is a different kind of antioxidant in that it is fat soluble. If you are one of those whose diet is high in polyunsaturated fats then your need for Vitamin E is increased. Polyunsaturated fats are common in processed food and fast foods. Polyunsaturated fats are very easily oxidized and oxidization is the major of free radical production. Free radicals are the little atoms which cause most of the damage related to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and many others.

When LDL oxidizes it is more likely to promote the build up of fatty plaque in the vessels which of course leads to atherosclerosis Vitamin E may also reduce the blood's ability to clot and help reduce inflammation. Most studies show that inflammation is one of the real culprits in atherosclerosis . It has also been found to strengthen the immune system which is one of chlorella's main attributes.

Other studies suggest that vitamin E helps prevent or reduce the effects of a wide range of diseases, including certain cancers, arthritis, cataracts, Parkinson's, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
