2. Nervous System Benefits
Vitamin E might help with the proper transmission of electrical signals between neurons in the brain and body. More evidence is needed, but vitamin E could aid in the treatment of some nervous system disorders, such as dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, and conditions, such as epilepsy.
Some research shows vitamin E can also help manage ataxia, an inherited movement disorder related to low vitamin E levels. Vitamin E supplements are part of standard treatments for ataxia.
