Vitamin E is found in a wide variety of foods. The richest sources are plant oils such as soya, corn and olive oil. Other good sources include nuts and seeds, and wheatgerm (found in cereals and cereal products).
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means you don't need it every day because any of the vitamin your body doesn't need immediately is stored for future use.
You should be able to get all the vitamin E you need from your daily diet. This is:
4 mg a day for men
3 mg a day for women
Vitamin E has a number of important functions. For example it helps protect cell membranes by acting as an antioxidant.

It's a natural antioxidant which protects vitamins A and C in the body as well as the cell membranes.

It can be derived from a number of sources:
- Olive oil (and other vegetable oils)
- Peppers
- Tomatoes
- Wheatgerm
- Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- Nuts & seeds
- Avocados

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in eight different forms. Each form has its own biological activity, which is the measure of potency or functional use in the body [1]. Alpha-tocopherol (α-tocopherol) is the name of the most active form of vitamin E in humans. It is also a powerful biological antioxidant [2-3]. Vitamin E in supplements is usually sold as alpha-tocopheryl acetate, a form of alpha-tocopherol that protects its ability to function as an antioxidant. The synthetic form is labeled "D, L" while the natural form is labeled "D". The synthetic form is only half as active as the natural form [4].

Antioxidants such as vitamin E act to protect your cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of energy metabolism. Free radicals can damage cells and may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Studies are underway to determine whether vitamin E, through its ability to limit production of free radicals, might help prevent or delay the development of those chronic diseases. Vitamin E has also been shown to play a role in immune function, in DNA repair, and other metabolic processes [2-3].

What foods provide vitamin E?
Vegetable oils, nuts, green leafy vegetables, and fortified cereals are common food sources of vitamin E in the United States (U.S.). Table 1, Selected Food Sources of Vitamin E, suggests many food sources of vitamin E [4]. Food values are listed in the alpha-tocopherol form of vitamin E.

vitamin E is an essential vitamin that is found in many foods (oily fish like salmon & tuna, whole grains, leafy green vegetables, etc...) and is needed to help the body combat inflamation and to help keep joints lubricated and working properly. it can be taken as a supplement, but it's best to take it in your diet by eating foods rich in vitamin E.
