The use of vitamin E eliminates its deficiency. About 20% to 80% of vitamin E is absorbed in the digestive tract, and for adequate absorption of vitamin E, it requires bile and fat. Vitamin E is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily in the bile. It is excreted in small amounts in urine.

This is a natural Vitamin E preparation. The exact biological function of Vitamin E is unknown. The Vitamin acts as an antioxidant in the body. Vitamin E protects polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are components of cellular membranes, and other oxygen-sensitive substances such as vitamin A & vitamin C from oxidation. Vitamin E reacts with free radicals, which is the cause of oxidative damage to cell membranes, without the formation of another free radical in the process. The main pharmacological action of vitamin E in humans is its antioxidant effect.

In premature neonates, irritability, edema, thrombosis, and hemolytic anemia may be caused by vitamin E deficiency. Creatinuria, ceroid deposition, muscle weakness, decreased erythrocyte survival, or increased in vitro hemolysis by oxidizing agents have been identified in adults and children with low serum tocopherol concentrations.
