Too much

Is taking a large dose of vitamin E really beneficial and harmless? Robert, an American medical expert, suggested that taking large doses of vitamin E for a long time would cause various diseases. Among them, thrombophlebitis or pulmonary embolism, or both occur at the same time, because large doses of vitamin E can cause platelet aggregation and formation; When blood pressure rises, blood pressure can be reduced or returned to normal after drug withdrawal; Breast hypertrophy can occur in both men and women; Headache, dizziness, dizziness, blurred vision, muscle weakness;

Chapped skin, cheilitis, angular stomatitis, urticaria; Symptoms of diabetes or angina pectoris are obviously aggravated; Hormone metabolism disorder, prothrombin reduction; Blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels increased; Platelets increase, vitality increases, and immune function decreases.

Vitamin e poisoning

Adults take relatively large doses of vitamin E(D-α- tocopherol 400~800mg/d) for several years without obvious damage. Those who take 800~3200mg/d occasionally have muscle weakness, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea. The most obvious toxic effect of vitamin E > 1000 mg/d is to antagonize and enhance the effect of vitamin K.

Not only can you eat it, but you can also apply it to your face to lighten the spots. I tried it once and it really worked. Just puncture the capsule with a needle and apply the spilled oil to your face.

lack

Vitamin e deficiency

Red blood cell destruction, muscle degeneration, anemia, reproductive dysfunction.

food source

Foods rich in vitamin e

Malt, soybean, vegetable oil, nuts, Brussels sprouts, green leafy vegetables, spinach, nutritious flour, whole wheat, unrefined cereal products, eggs.

Nutritional supplements

Both fat-soluble capsules and water-soluble tablets are acceptable.

Generally sell 100 ~ 1500 IU of vitamin e. Water-soluble vitamin E is suitable for people who don't eat greasy food or people who eat greasy food will cause skin lesions, especially middle-aged people over 40 years old.

The average daily intake is 200 ~ 1200 IU.

Drug combination

Inorganic iron (ferrous sulfate) can destroy vitamin E, so it cannot be taken at the same time. If you take a nutritional supplement containing a small amount of ferrous sulfate and take vitamin E at the same time, it must be 8 hours apart;

Special purpose

People whose diets are rich in polyunsaturated fats (vegetable oil and fish oil) must take more vitamin E;

Organic iron such as ferrous gluconate, pepsin, citrate and crotonate will not destroy vitamin E;

People who drink tap water poisoned by chlordecone must take more vitamin E;

Women who take birth control pills, hormones or during pregnancy and lactation must take more vitamin E;

In order to increase the intake of vitamin E in menopausal women, it is recommended to take tocopherol complex, 400 ~ 1200 IU per day.

Vitamin e will not reduce the incidence of heart disease.

A recent study in Canada found that taking vitamin E does not reduce the incidence of heart disease. If you take vitamin E every day for 4 to 6 years, the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke or death from heart disease is not lower than that of people who take placebo every day.

Vitamin E is a low oxidation antioxidant. Oxidation is a natural reaction related to aging and diseases, including arteriosclerosis. In the recent research experiment, the researchers randomly divided the subjects over 55 into two groups, one group took vitamin E supplement containing 400 international units, and the other group took placebo. Each subject had heart disease or diabetes, or at least one risk factor for myocardial infarction or stroke. Through research, it is found that after 46 years, there is no difference in test results. The number of people who suffered from myocardial infarction or stroke was similar between the two groups, and the number of people who died of cardiovascular diseases was roughly the same. This proves that although no side effects are found, taking vitamin E will not offset the negative effects of smoking, eating fatty foods and other unhealthy lifestyles.

Vitamin E in Yangshengtang can not only be eaten, but also be applied to the face to lighten spots. I tried it once and it really worked. Just puncture the capsule with a needle and apply the spilled oil to your face.

The role of vitamin e

General function

Vitamin E has a strong antioxidant effect, which can prevent the oxidation of fatty compounds, vitamin A, selenium (Se), two sulfur-containing amino acids and vitamin C.

Improve the effect of vitamin a;

Vitamin E is an important vasodilator and anticoagulant.

Adding 25mcg selenium to 200IU of vitamin E can improve the efficacy of vitamin E.

efficiency

Delaying the aging of cells due to oxidation and maintaining a young face;

Provide oxygen to your body to make you last longer;

Together with vitamin A, it can resist air pollution and protect the lungs;

Prevent blood coagulation;

Reduce fatigue;

It is an external medicine (which can be absorbed through the skin) and an internal medicine for local trauma, which can prevent scars;

Accelerate the recovery of burns;

Lowering blood pressure through diuretics;

Prevention of abortion;

Helps to relieve leg cramps and stiff hands and feet;

Reduce the chance of ischemic heart disease.

normal requirement

[Normal human needs]

The recommended daily intake for adults is 8 ~10iu;

60% ~ 70% of daily intake will be excreted with excrement. Different from other fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin E has a short storage time in human body, which is the same as vitamins B and C; Medical experts believe that the common oral dose of vitamin E should be 10 to 100 mg each time, 1 3 times a day. Large dose means more than 400 mg per day, and long-term use means continuous use for more than 6 months. Vitamin E contained in the general diet can fully meet the needs of the human body. Therefore, it is not only unnecessary for the elderly to take vitamin E for a long time, but also unsafe and has side effects.
