Is vitamin E safe?

Unlike the other fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin E is relatively free of side effects, even when consumed in amounts far exceeding the Daily Value.

High intakes of vitamin E can interfere with vitamin K activity, resulting in prolonged bleeding time.


How much E vitamin do I need?

The Daily Value for vitamin E is 30IU.

Vitamin E requirements depend on body size, with larger individuals needing more of this vitamin.

Vitamin E protects fats from turning rancid, so greater amounts of this vitamin are needed for people who eat high-fat diets, especially when the fat is from vegetable oils and other polyunsaturated fats.

Some health experts believe that optimal intakes of vitamin E are greater than the Daily Value, and recommend daily intake of 100IU to 400IU. This amount must be obtained from supplements, since it is impossible to consume the amount from food alone.
