Hazards and side effects

1. Vitamin E has anticoagulant activity, and long-term high-dose intake can increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke

2. Low doses of vitamin E have an antioxidant effect, but high doses may no longer have antioxidant activity and vitamin E may become a pro-oxidant.

3. Taking large doses of vitamin E can hinder the absorption and function of other fat-soluble vitamins.

Vitamin E needs to be taken according to the dosage. It is not the case that the longer the supplement is taken, the better. Appropriate supplementation of vitamin E can be of great benefit to the body, but don't overdose.

According to professionals engaged in vitamin research, many people buy vitamin E to take for health care and disease prevention and treatment, but they are generally synthetic vitamin E products. With the development of modern medicine and nutrition, scientists have discovered that natural vitamin E is actually more in line with human needs than synthetic products. These natural vitamins E are widely found in the green parts of plants and the germs of grass seeds, and are especially abundant in vegetable oils.

Currently, there are two main categories of VE on the market: natural VE and synthetic VE. Natural vitamin E is generally extracted from natural plants, while synthetic vitamin E is generally made from petrochemical by-products such as trimethylhydroquinone. The price difference between the two is huge, and the difference in efficacy is even greater. In terms of safety, biological activity, absorption rate, etc., natural vitamin E is better than synthetic vitamin E. It is better to use natural VE for self-care. Zhiyuan Natural Vitamin E Soft Capsules are extracted from pure natural sources and are suitable for long-term use.

Expert Tips: Vitamin E should not be taken in large doses for a long time. If there is a special need, it is best not to take more than 200 mg a day. Especially when taking vitamin E with the following five drugs at the same time, it must be done under the guidance of a doctor:

The first one is vitamin K. Vitamin E has an antagonistic effect on vitamin K, and can inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce blood coagulability. Therefore, do not take them at the same time.

The second type is digitalis. Vitamin E can enhance the cardiotonic effect of digitalis. Patients taking this type of medication should use vitamin E with caution to avoid digitalis poisoning.

The third type is neomycin. Drugs that affect fat absorption, such as neomycin, will affect the body's absorption of vitamin E. Taking them at the same time may reduce the effectiveness of both drugs.

The fourth type is estrogen. Long-term and high-dose (daily dose exceeding 400 mg) use of vitamin E, especially in combination with estrogen, can induce thrombophlebitis and should be treated with caution.
