Vitamin E 1000IU Capsules: My Skin and Immune System Improved, but Are There Risks?
I've been taking Vitamin E 1000IU capsules for a few months now, and I've noticed some great improvements in my skin and overall immune function. I've read that it's a powerful antioxidant, but I'm also seeing some scary side effects listed. Has anyone else had any issues or negative experiences with these? I don't want to risk my health, but I love the benefits. Should I be worried about the high dosage? I've been taking them on the advice of a natural health practitioner, but I'm curious to hear what others have to say, especially those who have tried this dosage. Are these side effects rare, and should I be worried. I bought a big bottle of them, but I don't want to take them if they're dangerous.
Vitamin E is great for the skin, but you should always start with a lower dose and see how your body reacts. 1000IU is quite high. It's a fat-soluble vitamin, so it can build up in your system.
I've been taking 1000IU for years with no issues. Just make sure you're not on any blood thinners, as Vitamin E can interfere with them. Always good to consult a doctor first though; be safe!
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble, it can accumulate in your body. Are you eating lots of fat with these? That's the best way to absorb it.
I take 400IU daily and have noticed a difference in my vision. But 1000IU sounds like a lot. Be careful, friend!
I had a weird rash after taking these. I stopped and it cleared up. I'm not sure if it was the Vitamin E or not, but I'm not taking them again.
I work in a health food store and we get lots of people asking about high dose vitamin E. The consensus among the staff is that it's best to get your vitamins from food and not supplements. Just my two cents.
I took these for a while and my skin improved, but I noticed I was having trouble breathing. I stopped taking them and it went away. I'm not sure if it was the Vitamin E, but I'm not risking it.
So, what foods are high in Vitamin E? I might just switch to those.
