Bodybuilding.com - Vitamin E Information and Product Listing! Vitamin E FAQ!

1. What is it and where does it come from?
Vitamin E, along with Vitamin A is an incredibly powerful antioxidant. It is fat-soluble and produces the superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful free radical eliminator. Vitamin E can be found in Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly.

2. What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
Vitamin E scavenges the body for harmful free radicals and annihilates them.

Anyone who wants a healthy immune system and added protection against free radicals should supplement with Vitamin E. Hard training bodybuilders and athletes, especially, can wear down their body's immune system causing health related problems. This is where Vitamin E comes in! Supplementing with Vitamin E can increase the strength of your immune system and the overall health of your body. Vitamin E is an essential nutrient; however, deficiency is uncommon.

4. How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?
Vitamin E concentrations vary. Most people consume 20 - 30 IU per day. The RDA for Vitamin E is only 15 IU for males and 12 IU for females. Nevertheless, the RDA is only meant to prevent against a deficiency and many of the antioxidant effects of Vitamin E cannot be obtained at levels this low. To truly get the benefits from Vitamin E Alliance for Aging Research recommends taking between 100 and 400 IU per day for adults. Various medical literature commonly recommends adults supplement with between 100 and 800 IU per day. For very active athletes as much as 1,200 to 1,500 IU per day has been recommended by trainers and researchers.

So, as you can see, there is quite a bit of leeway for supplementing with Vitamin E. In fact, there is very little evidence of toxicity in levels up to 1200 IU. High doses of Vitamin E may be harmful if you have high blood pressure.
