| Important |
|
As with many nutrients, The benefit of Vitamin
E is lost when foods are cooked or processed. Commercially processed vegetable oils are
low in Vitamin E, so if you depend on vegetable oils for your Vitamin E, then you should
choose cold-pressed oils. |
|
For most people getting enough vitamin E from
their diet alone can be difficult, so a supplement may be a good idea. |
|
If you have high blood pressure you should not
take high doses of Vitamin E, and as with all supplements you should consult your
physician before taking it. |
|
Do not take Iron supplements at the same time
as you take Vitamin E. |
