It even improved performance of daily living activities and the need for care.

The July 1, 2004 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine included antioxidant supplements in a review of therapies for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The review noted that studies have shown the most widely administered antioxidant therapy, which uses vitamin E with the drug selegiline, can help delay placement in a nursing home, the development of severe dementia, and death, better than a placebo.

In a Japanese- American study of 3000 men over the age of 70, researchers found that a combination of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, significantly reduced the risk of dementia and even improved cognitive function in those without dementia.

Immune Function

In a Boston study, of 88 people over the age of 65, researchers found that people taking 200 IU of Vitamin E per day had improved immune function.

In a study published in JAMA, they found Vitamin E supplementation helps to fight upper respiratory tract infections in the elderly and those given Vitamin E supplementation had a 20 percent lower risk of catching a cold.
