Vitamin E is a generic term used for a group of chemically-similar compounds sharing the tocopherol and tocotrienol structures, which are lipid-soluble; hence, vitamin E is known as a fat-soluble vitamin. Vitamin E is an important anti-oxidant which protects against lipid peroxidation (which could contribute to cell membrane weakness).
