Asthma can cause patients to have problems with breathing, and their airways become inflamed plus swollen. This can be very hard on people who have attacks a lot. Vitamins can really help patients that have asthma for a variety of reasons. One of those vitamins that helps the patient is Vitamin E. The cells stand a stronger chance of being protected when patients have Vitamin E. Radicals that are free often damage the cells but Vitamin E protects them so they are not damaged.

Cooking oils often have Vitamin E in it but Vitamin E can not be done in really big amounts. Sometimes there is not enough of Vitamin E in food items and wheat germ is added because it does have some Vitamin E in it. Wheat germ is often added in dishes like meatloaf, breads or pasta.

Patients usually have to stop taking Vitamin E if any of these side effects happen but first the doctor should be notified right away or within a few hours.
