Vitamins: high dosage Vitamin E Supplements Not Safe for your Health
According to a new analysis of high-dosage vitamin E supplementation the all cause death increases when subjects were taking more than 400 IU of Vitamin E for over a year.
This is a bad thing. Many people are taking either Vitamin E or a Multivitamin. Add to this the Vitamin E from normal products and not to mention the added vitamins in many foods. Especially when manufacturers are treating food as a multi vitamin product the risks of overdoses of some vitamins and minerals occur.
"On the basis of our study, high-dosage vitamin E supplementation is clearly unjustified."
