15. Helps with many biological functions

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble enzyme. This means that it can be incorporated into the membranes that surround the cells of our body. Because vitamin E is such a powerful antioxidant, it prevents the free radicals from affecting these cells. Vitamin E can regulate the activity of different enzymes. Certain types of it can inhibit protein kinase C (PKC) enzyme which affects the growth of smooth muscles. Vitamin E can also enhance the effects of a commonly used oral anticoagulant called Warfarin.
