Vitamin E or Tocopherol, is a fat-soluble vitamin in eight forms. It is an important antioxidant often found in skin creams and lotions. It is believed to play a role in promoting skin healing and reducing scars after burns or injury.
The most active form of vitamin E in humans is Alpha-tocopherol, which is a powerful biological antioxidant. The Recommended Daly Allowance of vitamin E is based on the alpha-tocopherol form. The Institute of Medicine indicates most North American adults get enough vitamin E from their normal diets to meet the current recommendations. However, they do caution those who consume low fat diets because vegetable oils are such a good dietary source of vitamin E.

Vitamins are organic (carbon containing) molecules that mainly function as catalysts for reactions within the body. Catalyst allows a chemical reaction to occur using less energy and less time than it would under normal conditions. Normal body functions can break down and make a person susceptible to disease if there is a vitamin deficiency since catalysts are missing. Vitamins are found in food, beverages and some are within our own bodies. Our bodies require tiny amounts.
