August 18, 2006, Newsletter Issue #76: Vitamin E Cautions
Tip of the Week
Can you take too many vitamins? You may be able to take TOO HIGH of dosages of many vitamins.
If you are taking anti-coagulants (drugs which slow the blood coagulation) or suspect any type of bleeding problem, check with your doctor before taking vitamin E. It can have an anticoagulant effect.
In a Finnish study, vitamin E was suspected of contributing to hemorrhagic or "bleeding stroke" in smokers, although most experts believe that the 50-IU dose used was too low to alter blood coagulation or to have other beneficial or detrimental effects.
Extra high doses of vitamin E can cause reactions including hot flashes.
Use Moderation in your vitamin intake.
