Vitamin E helps protect red blood cells against hemolysis. It also protects the polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes from the damage free radicals can cause, and it helps stop vitamin A and vitamin C from oxidising.
Zinc acts as a cofactor in over 100 enzymes. It is involved in DNA synthesis and supports a healthy immune system.
