Vitamin E (Tocopherols)

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. It shows potential cardioprotective effects and may reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress, though high-dose isolated alpha-tocopherol has shown neutral-to-negative outcomes in some studies.
