If we were supposed to take vitamins, wouldn't they grow on trees?
Vitamin E supplementation may not be as innocuous as previously believed. A dose relationship between vitamin E and all-cause mortality may exist, beginning at 150 IU per day. Mortality risk was minimally but statistically higher for doses of Vitamin E 1000 IU/d or greater compared with placebo. Further controlled trials using both natural and synthetic forms of Vitamin E are warranted to determine the true effects.
