Vitamin E is important role in implantation of fertilize ovum. Administration of vitamin E [alpha tocopherol] during the first half of gestation permits normal embryo development and parturition. The improvement in function of red blood cells by alpha tocopherol serves as the basis for bioassay for vitamin E activity.
