Vitamins are one of the health-promoting functional foods. At each age, our body needs a different amount of vitamin E to ensure metabolic processes.
According to many experts, people between the ages of 25 and 30 should start taking vitamin E (or maybe earlier depending on the individual). Because this is the age at which the cells of the body, especially the skin, enter the aging phase. Vitamin E has antioxidant effects, protects against cell damage from free radicals and is also important in many metabolic processes in the body.
Because vitamin E belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins, it is easily stored in the body, especially in liver and adipose tissue. Therefore, you should take vitamin E in the morning, take it 30 minutes after a meal or take it with a meal and do not take it when you are too full or too hungry and should take it with foods containing fat such as milk, nuts. , butter, yogurt.
In addition to determining the right time to take vitamin E, you also need to pay attention to how to take vitamin E properly.
- For women, taking vitamin E tablets (combined tablets) every day after the age of 30 can be used, but should only be used for 1-2 months, then take a break for a while before continuing to use. Because taking vitamin E continuously for a long time can be harmful to health. Some studies have even shown that taking high doses of vitamin E can increase the risk of lung cancer. Intravenous high doses of vitamin E can be fatal.
- The use of vitamin E supplements should also be applied only to people with dry skin, a diet poor in vitamin E. Especially only for patients such as: diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, liver disease, Kidney failure, cancer, allergies, chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases… it is necessary to supplement with vitamin E daily, but every day should not exceed 400 UI (international units), which should only be used in the same way. 1-2 months, take a break before using again. For normal healthy people, the best way to use vitamin E to supplement is still from food.
There is little evidence from independent researchers that vitamin supplements have any real effect on human health. In fact, when taken in large doses, some vitamins, especially fat-soluble vitamins, can pose health risks. Before starting a vitamin supplement, you should consult with your doctor for advice and to make sure that what you are planning to take is safe.
