Explanation by: Admin

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. It is particularly important for:

  • Reproductive health: It helps maintain the normal function of sex glands and supports fertility in both males and females.
  • Cell membrane integrity: It protects cell membranes from damage caused by free radicals.
  • Immune system support: It helps in maintaining a healthy immune response.

Why not the other options?

  • (A) Carbohydrate metabolism → This is mainly regulated by Vitamin B-complex (especially B1, B2, and B3), not Vitamin E.
  • (B) General health of epithelial tissues → Vitamin A is more responsible for maintaining epithelial tissues.
  • (C) Development of teeth → Vitamin D and calcium play a major role in teeth development.

Thus, Vitamin E is particularly important for the normal activity of sex glands.
