Vitamin E: The Best Summer Supplement
Vitamin E plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Its main photoprotective effect is due to its function as a lipid-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin E is an essential component of the skin's antioxidant defense system, offering defense against UV radiation and other harmful free radicals that can affect the outermost layer of the skin.
Studies have shown that vitamin E can effectively scavenge free radicals induced by UVA radiation, prevent the degradation of natural antioxidants in the skin, inhibit lipid peroxidation, and even counteract the immunosuppressive effects of UV radiation. When combined with vitamin C, vitamin E has demonstrated significant protection against sunburn, erythema, skin cancer, and premature aging caused by sun exposure – making it an essential summer staple. *
