How to improve vitamin E status w out taking vitamin E?

[tommyg130]

I don’t react well to direct vitamin E supps. I’m overloaded w PUFAS badly and I know I need E. However I think it hurts my k too much. Or thins blood too much. Or both. When I take E and feel I take k2 and it goes away.

Nonetheless I don’t think it’s as if I have adequate vitamin e. Vitamin C and selenium can help boost snd recycle Vitamin E? I remember vaguely seeing ?

Maybe drink dark roast coffee if you tolerate it well?

Dark roast coffee is more effective than light roast coffee in reducing body weight, and in restoring red blood cell vitamin E and glutathione concentrations in healthy volunteers - PubMed

Recent results from prospective cohort studies have shown that moderate coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk for diabetes mellitus type II or Alzheimer's disease. Since reactive oxygen species (ROS) are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases, antioxidants...

Taurine does that.

Do you take 100 to 400 IU of vitamin E at a time?

I'm not sure about Se, but I believe that's true- that Vit C helps recycle Vit E--- or is it the other way around? Checked but can't find, don't remember for sure which.

 

[Kray]

Taurine does that.

Does what?

 

[miquelangeles]

Does what?

Improve vitamin E status.

 

[Kray]

Improve vitamin E status.

Are you doing this? For how long, what dose?

Thanks for clarifying the taurine question.

Bone marrow is very rich in vit E and K2 compared to other meats, even liver.

Thanks for that tip.

As noted above, vitamin C and Selenium both help recycle vitamin E. I take my E in the morning. At night about 12 hours later I take my K2. You only need about 3-5 hours between them but this cycle works best for me.

I have been wondering about skin application. Is it best to rub on fatty tissue or apply to thin skin veiny areas? Also what is a decent topical application dosage, please for liquid Vit E. I am using Frontier btw.
