VITAMIN E

Another of the elements that is very important to prevent the tissues wearing out is vitamin E, also called Tocopherol. This vitamin is stored in : the liver, fat tissues, the heart, muscles, testicles, the uterus, the blood, and in the adrenal and pituitary glands. It dilates blood vessels, is an              anti-coagulant and improves circulation, strengthens capillary walls, helps fertility and male potency, protects lungs, prevents and dissolves blood clots, maintains muscles and nerves.

            Selenium combined with vitamins E and A strongly increases the activity of these vitamins. The same things happens when it is mixed with magnesium.

In his book “All About Vitamins”, Dr. Earl Mindel recommends 25mg. of Selenium for every 200 IU of vitamin E.
