How much Vitamin E is toxic? How much is tolerable? How much is healthy?

[ilja]

Hello,

anyone got knowledge on the questions in the title?

Also, I have been getting about 35mg Vitamin E a day for the last 2 weeks, from margarine. Is that too much?

Also, how does a Vitamin E toxicity work on a biochemical level?

All vitamin E supplements are toxic and not real vitamin E, Get vitamin E from real food source.

@Michael569 why? is says "eat cholesterol conscious" on it, so it must be good.

 

just kidding with you. i wish i could, but there is a reason i am eating that for a period. i won't keep it up my whole life, i hope, cause it then would be a short life.

the ratio of the margarine is 1:4 i believe, it's also vegan. so what's the conclusion for the vitamin e?

@Michael569 What do you think of wheat germ oil as a vitamin E source?

@ilja If you want to focus about quantity regardless of quality (which is super important), the RDA for vitamin E is 15 mg (22 IU), while the UL is 1000 mg (1500 IU). These levels come from the National Academy of Sciences and other institutions. So you have leeway.
