Vitamin E may reduce blood clotsEffects of random allocation to vitamin E supplementation on the occurrence of venous thromboembolism: report from the Women's Health Study.
We investigated whether vitamin E supplementation affects the risk of blood clots, specifically venous thromboembolism (VTE), in women. The Women's Health Study involved nearly 40,000 women who received either vitamin E or a placebo over more than ten years.
Our findings revealed that those taking vitamin E experienced a significant reduction in VTE occurrences compared to the placebo group. Notably, women with a history of VTE or certain genetic factors benefited the most from supplementation.
Overall, vitamin E may play a protective role against blood clots, offering promise for at-risk individuals.

Scientists have demonstrated the benefits of a tocopherol mixture (antioxidant), which protects cell membranes. Vitamin E aids in the absorption of fats, lowers cholesterol, and supports cardiovascular health. Insufficient vitamin E can lead to fat breakdown, manifesting in skin pigmentation in the elderly—an accumulation of oxidised fats and proteins. Such issues can be avoided with adequate tocopherol levels. The benefits of natural tocopherols include enhanced cell nutrition, strong blood vessel walls, reduced risk of blood clots, resorption of formed blood clots, stronger heart muscles, and protection against toxins.
