Question: I take 800 I!.U!. of vitamin E daily!?
Is it harmful to take!? I also take 500 mg of Niacin!. What are the benefits of taking these supplements!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
As the person above stated, the vitamin e dosage is fine!.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant!.
To add to the comment of the Niacin:
- the 500mg is alright to take!.
- Even if you overdose on niacin, because it's a water-soluble vitamin, the extra dosage will be excreted through your urine!. Your body is not capable of absorbing more than it needs!.
- Make sure you are taking a regular niacin supplement!. Taking a form of "flush-free" niacin called niacinamide causes liver damage over the long-term!. If you're worried about the flush of niacin, you can take a few raw nuts (like almonds) with the supplement, or take a baby aspirin until your get used to it (make sure you wean off the aspirin after a few weeks, as taking aspirin every day isn't good)
- The benefits include: cholesterol balance (heart disease), metabolism of proteins, energy production, increase blood flow and improve circulation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the vitamin e dose is fine!. newer research shows that d alpha tocopherol- the vitamin e that we have been using for dozens of years may not be the most protective!. Vitamin E consists of 8 parts!. you now want to use a vitamin e that is high in Gamma Tocopherol-one of the 8 parts----a good product would be Source Naturals Gamma E400!. I have taken 800 iu of vit e for many years with no bad effects and last year I switched to Gamma E!. All this is very safe dosing!. I cannot comment on Niacin because I am not 100 percent sure of my knowledge on this!. somewhere I read that it could harm the liver at very high doses and I don't know what a high dose might be!.Vit E is a super good antioxidant that counteracts free radicals that can damage cells and its contents!.
