Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with several forms, but alpha-tocopherol is the only one used by the human body. Its main role is to act as an antioxidant, scavenging loose electrons-so-called “free radicals”-that can damage cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamin E supports your immune system by assisting with t cell production which is essential for effective immune response. T cells support immune function and a deficiency can have a negative impact on the vitamin E function in the body. Most importantly, Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamin E helps maintain healthy skin and eyes, and strengthen the body’s natural defence against illness and infection (the immune system).

Detailed explanation-4: -As an antioxidant, vitamin C provides protection against oxidative stress-induced cellular damage by scavenging of reactive oxygen species, vitamin E-dependent neutralization of lipid hydroperoxyl radicals, and by protecting proteins from alkylation by electrophilic lipid peroxidation products.
