How Vitamin E Works In Our System? Can Vitamin E Whiten The Skin?

Vitamin E works mainly as an antioxidant in our system.
- (antioxidant=any substance that prevents or reduces damage caused by oxygen)
1:- Free radicals (free radical=a very reactive atom or molecule possessing a single unpaired electron.) are formed in the body during normal metabolism and also upon exposure to cigarette smoke or pollutants. Fats, which are present in all cell membranes, can be destroyed through oxidation by free radicals.The fat-soluble vitamin E intercepts free radicals and prevents fats destruction.
2:- Vitamin E also protects the fats in low density lipoproteins [Low density lipoprotein(LDL)] from oxidation. Lipoproteins are particles composed of lipids and proteins, which transport fats through the blood stream. LDL transport cholesterol from the liver to the tissues of the body. Oxidised LDLs cause cardiovascular diseases.
When a molecule of vitamin E neutralizes a free radical, its antioxidant capacity is lost. However, other antioxidants, such as vitamin C, regenerates the antioxidant capacity of vitamin E.
3:- Vitamin E inhibits the activity of protein kinase C, an important cell signalling molecule(Cell signaling=communication among individual cells so as to coordinate their behaviour to benefit the organism as a whole. Cell-signaling systems include cell-surface and intracellular receptor proteins, GTP binding proteins, and protein kinase and protein phosphatases (enzymes that phophorylate and dephospholyrate proteins),
4:- vitamin E affects the expression and activity of immune and inflammatory cells.
5:- vitamin E inhibits platelet (Platelet=irregularly shaped cell fragments that assist in blood clotting) aggregation
6:- vitamin E enhance vasodilation (Vasodilation=relaxation or opening of a blood vessel.)

Vitamin E cannot whiten the skin.

A proper balance between all vitamins, minerals and protein in our body is essential. Over-consumption of any one vitamin may not have positive effect - it is like washing down your money!
