Here's how it works:
* Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from damage caused by free radicals. When it neutralizes a free radical, it becomes oxidized itself.
* Vitamin C is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant that can donate electrons to reduce oxidized vitamin E back to its active form. This allows vitamin E to continue its antioxidant work.
This regeneration cycle helps to maintain the protective effects of both vitamins within the body.
