Brand: Vitamin World · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Vitamin World E-400 IU provides a specific dose of vitamin E, which is a fat-soluble nutrient with a well-defined role in the body. Based on the data provided, we can assess the supplement's purpose and safety, but there are significant limitations. Data on the specific ingredients beyond vitamin E is not available, and no specific health outcome studies for this product are listed in the provided data.
How it works
Vitamin E acts as a potent antioxidant in your body. Its primary function is to protect cell membranes from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm cells, proteins, and DNA [NIH ODS]. This antioxidant activity is crucial for maintaining the health of your cells and supporting your immune system [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The safety profile is based on general vitamin E data. The provided data does not include specific adverse event reports for this product. However, for vitamin E supplements in general, data is not available on side effect reports from the FDA data provided. High doses of vitamin E (above the tolerable upper intake level of 1,000 mg per day) can pose risks, including a potential for bleeding, but this specific product provides 400 IU, which is below that threshold [NIH ODS]. Data on specific side effects and their report counts for this product is not available.
Our recommendation
This supplement is suitable for individuals looking to meet their daily vitamin E needs, particularly if dietary intake is low. The 400 IU dose is a standard amount. However, because data on the specific product's ingredients and safety reports are not available, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take blood-thinning medications. A balanced diet rich in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils is the best source of vitamin E [NIH ODS].
