Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 Hello all, I am worried I am taking too much Vitamin E. I am proximal and am currently taking 2 capsules per day at 400IU each. Is this too much since I am proximal? I don't want to overdue it since it can be dangerous, but I also want to get the benefits. Thanks so much for the advice. Diane LAP RNY 9/99 Quote
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 Hi Diane, Hope someone responds to this, I didn't realize there was a toxic level to Vit E - heck I take 3 400IU each day and I'm a proxy. I'm not recommending you do the same, but I thought when I post the question that someone suggested no more than 3 x at 400iu. I did it to help with hot flash hell and it has helped me quite a bit, but I also really jumped up my calcium too, so who knows.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 Your lab tests can give you a better answer than any of us can. Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin. This does not mean that it comes from fatty foods, but rather that the body stores in a fat molecule until it needs it. Proximal patients are much less prone to develop a vitamin E deficiency that are distal or BPD/DS patients. I personally would feel comfortable with a supplementation of 60 iu a day, which is twice the FDA RDI.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 800 IU is considered heart healthy for normies, and we malabsorb, so............ Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
