This can lead to serious side effects, even death.

The use of vitamin E to apply directly to the skin is only applicable to people with aging or dry skin. Using other skin types will easily cause acne due to clogged pores.

3. Safe and correct dosage of vitamin E

Although vitamin E is essential for health, too much supplementation by taking vitamin E tablets will lead to harmful effects on the body.

Vitamin E content makes up 400 – 1000 IU in the vitamin supplements that people take every day. Therefore, we should use the oral tablet properly, and should not abuse it because it can cause the risk of bleeding and thinning of the blood. The maximum recommended amount of vitamin E for adults is 1000mg per day.

How to take vitamin E properly ? How long should vitamin E be taken for the best effect, avoiding side effects? These are the questions that are often asked by people when using vitamin E.

Healthy people, without health problems, do not need to take vitamin E, and should only supplement through daily nutrition.

The daily vitamin E supplement for people with high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, liver disease, kidney failure, cancer, and allergies,… is essential but should not exceed 400UI/day. Patients should also only use 1-2 months apart, then take a break for a while before taking it again.
