HOW MUCH VITIMINE E

[badelder]

THERE ARE CONFLICTING DOSAGES EVERYWHERE.

WHAT DOSAGE DOES THE FATTY LIVER FOUNDATION RECCOMEND?

I DO NOT HAVE DIABETES.

[nash2 Partner]

The current evidence supports up to 800 IU / day

[badelder in reply to nash2]

I just bagan to take 1000 IU's daily, which converts to 670 mg.

I this too much? And, please let me know where i can reference that dosage on the FLF site.

Maybe I got the IU's and mg backwards.

[nash2 Partner in reply to badelder]

Probably not but think of the recommended 800 as for an average person. If you are bigger than average you may need the extra, if smaller consider a reduction next time you buy more.

[badelder in reply to nash2]

Thank you, and I searched again on the Fatty Liver Foundation site on the page DIET SHORTCUT, where it says TAKE 400-800 mg vit E.

So, I am in range as you say.

These are 2 studies referenced for vitamin E on (thewellnessleague.org/home):

1. Vitamin E as a Treatment for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Reality or Myth?

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

2. The Role of Vitamin E in the Treatment of NAFLD (section 3.3 refers to dosages)

mdpi.com/2079-9721/6/4/86

Keep in mind that vitamin E comes in different forms, both natural and synthetic. The plant based (natural) is recommended. The natural form is usually labeled as "d-Alpha-tocopherol" while the synthetic form is usually labeled as "di-Alpha-tocopherol" on the bottles.

Here is another link on vitamin E:

Also, be aware of the difference in conversions from iu's to mg's depending on the form of vitamin E, i.e. natural or synthetic.

Thanks for all they medical and study links about Vit A!

[badelder in reply to Boomer642]

Thank you, I have the Dl alpha tocopherol.

I did not know the conversions are different depending on the form.

As with any supplements we take, please make sure you run it by your hepatologist. I was told by my Gastroenterologist to take vitamin E only to be told that for men, it could cause prostate issues. Two hepatologists advised against me taking it.

Every doctor is different so you can get conflicting advise.
