| pubmed-article:3046299 | pubmed:abstractText | A review of the literature concerning the safety of oral intake of vitamin E indicated that the toxicity of vitamin E is low. Vitamin E supplementation has resulted in inconsistent effects in serum lipid and lipoprotein levels. Animal studies showed that vitamin E is not mutagenic, carcinogenic, or teratogenic. In human studies with double-blind protocols and in large population studies, oral vitamin E supplementation resulted in few side effects even at doses as high as 3200 mg/d (3200 IU/d). | lld:pubmed |
