Vitamin E is a group of fat-soluble compounds that have antioxidant properties and play a vital role in maintaining the health of the skin, eyes, and immune system. It is found in many foods, such as nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, and green leafy vegetables. Vitamin E deficiency can lead to a variety of health problems, including nerve and muscle damage, impaired immune function, and vision problems.
