Is it safe to take vitamin E ??

Vitamin E is safe and necessary.  There are three specific situations when a vitamin E deficiency is likely to occur. It is seen in persons who cannot absorb dietary fat, has been found in premature, very low birth weight infants (birth weights less than 1500 grams, or 3 1/2 pounds), and is seen in individuals with rare disorders of fat metabolism. A vitamin E deficiency is usually characterized by neurological problems due to poor(bad) nerve conduction.\n\nThe health risk of too much vitamin E is disputed. A recent review of the safety of vitamin E in the elderly indicated that taking vitamin E supplements for up to four months at doses of 530 mg or 800 IU (35 times the current RDA) had no significant adverse effect on general health, body weight, levels of body proteins, lipid levels, liver or kidney function, thyroid hormones, amount or kinds of blood cells, and bleeding time. Even though this study provides evidence that taking a vitamin E supplement containing 530 mg or 800 IU for four months is safe, the long term safety of vitamin E supplementation has not been authoritatively tested. However, "toxicity symptoms have not been reported even at intakes of 800 IU per kilogram of body weight daily for 5 months" according to the Food and Nutrition Board (Rosenberg, et al), an amount that corresponds to 60,000 IU per day for a 75 kg adult.

i would go with none. Vit E is put on the skin, (scars) and this supposed to reduce the visibility of the scar (no real evidence has proved this). Vit E is an antioxidant for fats. Vit A helps with eye sight and fat storage. The best way for Vitamins to be absorbed is through the intestines, they are specially designed to absorb nutrients.

Vitamin E is good but when medication causes this problem there is not a lot you can do. Discuss this side effect with your doctor! Being a nurse i know this is a common problem associated with quite a few medications. Especially those used to treat heart problems and highblood pressure. Some times it just takes patience and time. Good Luck and really be sure you talk to your doctor. He or She may be able to find a alternate medication for you.

Vitamin E, one of the antioxidants, can be taken regularly as part of a daily vitamin and mineral supplement or spread as in an ointment on sunburn. Vitamin C is another antioxidant that will help prevent severe damage from sunburn and shorten its effects. Selenium is a mineral that will help fight sunburn.

Vitamins are obtained from your food. A tablet can help to make up for a deficiency in your diet, but it is a 'second-best' source.\n\nBecause of industrial production methods (including farming), some vitamins are difficult to get from the foods that would naturally contain them. Organic food is better in this repect.\n\nSome vitamins are also useless without enough of the 'co-factors' that allow you to use them effectively.\n\nMost vitamins are not stored in your body in toxic quantities, but fat-soluble vitamins can build up in your 'adipose' (fat storing) tissues, and may occasionally reach toxic levels.\n\nFor example, large amounts of Vitamin A (Retinol) can be dangerous if you are pregnant. (Beta-Carotene is a good substitute; your body makes it into retinol if it's needed)\n\nThe short answer is: THE RIGHT AMOUNT of any vitamin is good for you, whether you get it from foods or out of a bottle. \n\nToo little will cause a deficiency; too much of some vitamins can poison you.

The term vitamin comes from vital amine, which means that yor body needs them . If youare getting a varied diet, you probably do not need to take vitamin pills. Vitamins A,D,E, and K are fat soluble. You can get an overdose with too many vitamin pills. The others are water soluble and you can not overdose. What is important is to get the right number of servings of fruits and vegetables, milk products and meat or meat substitutes to be sure you have the needed vitamins. % servings a day for tose fruits and vegetables. 4 servings of grains, 2 meat and 4 milk.

Vitamin E was recommended to me by my doctor for my high cholesterol.  It helps keep it lower.  It's also good for your skin.  I've noticed an improvement in my skin since I've been taking it.  Fish oils and other essential fatty acids are good for high cholesterol and skin health.

Yes, taking too many vitamins can kill you.  I'm not sure how many you would have to take, but I know that too much Iron or Calcium can make your heart stop, and too much potassium can make you have a heart attack.  There's many other adverse affects as well.  My advice to you would be to check your local phone book for a listing called the Poison Control Center.  Tell them someone took 6 vitamins, and ask if they should be okay.

(My GP has been taking 2000mg of Vitamin C daily for 20yrs and claims he has never had he flu since.)\nMany others believe supplements aid in many health issues today in comparison to the  "caveman the era" where we ate more fruits,vegetation and pure proteins,not needing supplements.The major claim is, supplements help! Yet the rich pharmaceutical companies have no real economic interest in the investment of research and development of Vitamins & Minerals because it doesn't pay enough.Just like the subject of Global warming...oil & car co. are filthy rich now..so what should they care about tomorrow.

John Hopkins did a study that showed statistically that taking an extra 250 mg vitamin C and 400 Units of E every day would reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's, if I remember correctly. :-0
