Did you know that a vitamin E deficiency can cause infertility? Well, that’s what they found out in some experiments on rats in the 1920s. (Just for the record, I don’t agree with animal testing of any sort…). The name “tocopherol” given to vitamin E actually means “bring forth children” in Greek!

Vitamin is also a powerful antioxidant and is essential for normal functioning of many body systems. It protects cell membranes from attack by free-radicals.

Good dietary sources of vitamin E include:

avocado
vegetable oil
whole grains
wheat germ
nuts
brown rice
oatmeal
