Your thoughts about Vit E in ProEFA

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

First of all thank you for answering all the questions that I have

asked in the short time that I have been on board with you. Thanks

alot.

Well, it's that time again for me to ask another question. I have

been reading wonderful things from you about Nordic Natural's ProEFA

and look forward to trying it for my son, Cole (almost 23 months

old, 28 lbs, with oral and very likely verbal apraxia). I was

curious as to what you have heard about the Vitamin E (mixed

tocopherols) amount. In one pill there is 13.5 IU. Because Vit E is

fat soluable and can be toxic in large amounts, I called my

pediatrician to see what the max daily allowable amount is (for my

son's age and weight). She told be 6 IU but wasn't sure and that I

should ask a pharmacist. So I did and the pharmacist said 5 IU. I

also e-mailed Nordic Naturals to ask them and they just said their

products had a range of 8 IU to??? (can't recall but it's the lower

end I was curious about and the fact that my question wasn't really

answered). Does anybody have any thoughts about this or information

that their pediatrican/whoever has shared with them about this

amount? Is 13.5 IU/day too high?

Thanks again,

Sincerely,

Anita
