VITAMINS: Building blocks to Happy, Healthy & Strong Kids

Vitamin E - an antioxidant and a fat-soluble vitamin - is necessary for tissue repair. It promotes normal blood clotting and healing, which helps to reduce scarring from some wounds.

Deficiency is rare, seen primarily in premature or low birth weight babies or children who do not absorb fat properly. Someone with Crohn's disease or celiac disease may also have a Vitamin E deficiency. Vitamin E can be found in nuts and vegetables.
