A Perspective on the Possible Role of Vitamin E in the Dietary Choices of Consumers -- Addressing Key Knowledge Gaps in Nutrition and the Impact of Funding Priorities in Human Nutrition. .This comprehensive volume examines the role of vitamin E as an essential micronutrient in human health and its extensive clinical benefits. Sections cover a wide breadth of topics, including vitamin E intake and recommended daily allowance, understanding the biological activities of Vitamin E and observed physiological effects, benefits of vitamin E on upper respiratory infections, cardiovascular disease, age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease, and intake safety. The text serves to emphasize the importance of vitamin E in relation to disease prevention as well as to raise awareness of the number of health conditions where an increased intake of vitamin E can be of potential significance. It explores vitamin E in an up-to-date, science based, applicable real-life perspective and offers pragmatic solutions for its safe and personalized use beyond the various methodological and statistical controversies. Intended for the medical and nutritional community, Vitamin E in Human Health will not only be an expansive resource for healthcare professionals, but also makes efforts to stimulate increased support for vitamin E research and further exploration of the safe and efficacious use for this essential micronutrient. .Nutrition and HealthClinical nutritionNutrition   Food—BiotechnologyClinical Nutritionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33140Nutritionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C18000Food Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C15001Clinical nutrition.Nutrition   .Food—Biotechnology.Clinical Nutrition.Nutrition.Food Science.615.328Weber Peteredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBirringer Marcedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBlumberg Jeffrey Bedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtEggersdorfer Manfrededthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFrank Janedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337479903321Vitamin E in Human Health1734905UNINA
