OCTOBER 26, 2022 VITAMIN E

Unfortunately, many people don't get enough of this important nutrient in their diets. I recall my father taking Vitamin E from Puritan Pride every day. It is a vitamin that most of my patients do take. There are signs and symptoms of Vitamin E deficiency.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is found in foods like leafy greens, nuts, and seeds. It plays a vital role in supporting the immune system, protecting against cell damage, and maintaining healthy skin and eyes.

There are some diseases that are linked to a deficiency in Vitamin D These are anemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, and vision problems. In severe cases, it can even lead to neurological problems and death I always prefer patients tro get a vitamin from a food source. Nuts and seeds are good sources of vitamin E. Almonds, hazelnuts, and sunflower seeds are all excellent choices. In addition, some vegetables also contain high levels of vitamin E. These include spinach, kale, and Swiss char

Suggested doses include about 400 IU per day. Most of my patients take 200 IU. There is controversy on the amount to take if you have heart disease. To prevent a deficiency, have a good diet with lots of Vitamin E

Until tomorrow…
