Vitamin E

Vitamin E:

          Human deficiency is rare and has only been described in premature infants and in  malabsorption. It can cause a mild haemolytic anaemia, ataxia and visual scotomas. Vitamin E intakes are considered safe up to 3200 mg/day

(1000-fold greater than recommended intakes). Diets rich in vitamin E are consumed in countries with lower rates of coronary heart disease. However, randomised controlled trials have not demonstrated cardioprotective effects of vitamin E or other antioxidants.
