Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage. Because it is fat-soluble, it can accumulate in the body, providing long-term protection against cell damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin E is found in nuts, seeds, leafy vegetables, and vegetable oils.

Advantages:

• Antioxidant protection : protects cells from the harmful effects of free radicals, which can lead to the development of many diseases, including chronic inflammation.

• Immune system support : helps the immune system function, especially when the body is under chronic stress or inflammation.

• Skin and heart protection : vitamin E promotes skin regeneration and protects the cardiovascular system from oxidative damage.

Thyroid and Vitamin E

Vitamin E is particularly important in supporting thyroid function, as oxidative stress and inflammation can damage the thyroid. For patients with thyroid conditions, such as Hashimoto's, boosting antioxidant defenses can help alleviate symptoms and improve thyroid health.

Relationship with inflammation reduction

Vitamin E’s antioxidant properties help reduce inflammation in the body, which is especially important in treating chronic inflammation associated with hypothyroidism. Supplementing with vitamin E can help minimize oxidative stress and thyroid inflammation, helping to restore balance to hormone production.

Natural sources: vegetable oils (sunflower, wheat germ, olive oil), nuts, seeds (almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds), avocado, spinach, broccoli.
