Folic Acid. - Folic
acid plays one of the most
important tasks in the
metabolism of amino acids and
protein synthesis (especially in
the production of DNA and RNA)
and the repair of chromosomes,
so it is essential for normal
cell proliferation, and growth
of tissues. Low levels of folate
increase the risk of heart
disease and cancer. When there
is a little introduction of
folate in the body, reduces the
level of folic acid in the blood
increases the level of
homocysteine, a major
cardiovascular risk factors, and
amending the terms and timing
reproduction of red blood cells
and white blood cells.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol).
- Vitamin E is a mixture of
tocopherols, the most important
thing is the tocopherol A.
Numerous studies have
demonstrated the importance of
this vitamin to increase the
antioxidant power of the cells.
Each molecule of vitamin E
protects the oxidation of 1000
fatty acid molecules. The
resistance of LDL to oxidation
increases the supply of oral
vitamin E. A study conducted for
8 years has shown that vitamin E
is achieved by a reduction in
heart disease 64%. They needed
30 mg of vitamin E per day.
Vitamin E is the most important
antioxidant nutrient and
delaying ageing due to
oxidation, reinforces the walls
of capillaries and prevents
sterility. There are: the
synthetic vitamin and vitamin
naturally. The natural vitamin E
is four times higher than
synthetic. His absence creates
fragility of platelets and red
blood cells and tissues from
oxidation. Vitamin E and heart:
Numerous studies have shown that
the introduction of vitamin E in
large quantities can reduce the
risk of heart attack and brain
haemorrhage. In a study
sponsored by the World Health
Organization (Monica study) have
seen an inverse relationship
between the level of antioxidant
and ischemic heart disease, this
ratio increases with vitamin E.
