Brand: Vitamin World · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Vitamin World 100% Natural E-200 IU provides 200 IU of vitamin E per serving. For adults, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin E is 15 mg (22.4 IU) daily from food sources [NIH ODS]. This supplement provides a dose well above the basic requirement, which may be appropriate for specific needs, but you should be aware that most people can meet their needs through diet alone.

How it works
Vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting your cells from damage caused by free radicals. It also supports your immune system and helps widen blood vessels to prevent clotting [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a shield for your cell membranes, helping to maintain their integrity throughout your body.
Safety profile
FDA received 694 adverse event reports for vitamin E. Reported side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and weakness [FDA data]. High doses of vitamin E (above 1,000 mg or 1,500 IU daily) may increase the risk of bleeding, especially for people taking blood-thinning medications [NIH ODS]. Data not available on specific side effects for this 200 IU formulation.
Our recommendation
For most adults, we recommend getting vitamin E from food sources like nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. If you choose to supplement, this 200 IU dose is generally considered safe. However, do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of 1,000 mg (1,500 IU) daily from supplements and food combined [NIH ODS]. Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you take blood thinners [FDA data].
