Vitamin E
Targeted cell protection where the hallmarks of aging begin.
In the context of healthy aging and longevity, the antioxidant effect of Vitamin E. A special role is played by the fact that cellular stress increases with age – particularly due to so-called free radicals. These are primarily produced in the mitochondria, for example when their function is impaired. (Murphy, 2008)
Vitamin E helps protect cell membranes from oxidative stress – a mechanism closely linked to maintaining genomic stability. Oxidative stress is considered a key factor in DNA damage and mutations that can accumulate over the years, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of degenerative diseases. By reducing this stress, vitamin E indirectly supports the maintenance of cellular integrity – a crucial foundation for long-term health and longevity.
