Free radicals are necessary for energy metabolism and immune function, however, maintaining an appropriate balance is an important factor for cellular health, especially cell membrane lipids and proteins.

Vitamin E is an especially valuable antioxidant in the cell membranes, where it prevents oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by trapping free radicals. his helps stabilize and protect cell membranes, especially red blood cells and tissues sensitive to oxidation, such as the lungs, eyes, and arteries.
