It may be that you do not have the right or, best type of Vitamin E, (ie; D alpha Tocopheryl Succinate) https://www.dynamicchiropractic.com/mpacms/dc/article.php?id=57584

@tac a wah
Thanks but I have tried a few with similar results.
Widely regarded as the best here I believe is derived from wheat germ and the effect was the same for me.

 

[Lokzo]

I get the same effects from high dose Vitamin E.

 

[SamuraiJack]

Sounds like low E to me. Vit E is strong for that. Don't underestimate low E, it's definitely a real thing

 

[Hans]

Have you tried combining the vitamin E with vitamin A and D?

 

[Spartan300]

Yes in Estroban, same..

Vitamin e tanks my libido too. When I had a blood test my estrogen levels were very low.

How long did it take to come back to normal?

I believe that Vitamin E also lowered my libido

I get the same effects from high dose Vitamin E.

Any idea of how long it took for estrogen to come back to normal from high vitamin e?

1-2 weeks for libido to return, not had another blood test since.

I have wondered that. Not had estrogen tested but prolactin was mid range.

Androsterone does the same. Skin is dry but the stubborn chest fat and pudgy low back would indicate high estrogen?

How long did it take to.come back.
I did same thing Androsterone and vitamin e and libido has tanked!!

Around 2 or 3 days. It's frustrating

How long were you over doing the vitamin e?
I did 800mg for a monTH or so

 

[Spartan300]

I rarely take it due to issues seen but when I have I tend to take it at night & notice the effects the next day from 400iu.

Experimenting my self :
I have Low serum E from blood works (and cystic fibrosis)
Popped like 1000ui v E from organic sunflower extract (so some PUFAs too) in the evening
Hell had boner all night long, don’t know if it’s related but it’s the only change I made and it’s the only night it happened
Knees SEEM little less watery too

will continue to experiment

cystic fibrosis people shows a EFAs deficiency lipid profile and they (doctors) recommend higher intake of LA and w3 IIRC

 

[PaRa]

cystic fibrosis and EFAs deficiency
NEVER noticed the smallest improvement from higher pufa intake tho

Increased elongase 6 and Δ9-desaturase activity are associated with n-7 and n-9 fatty acid changes in cystic fibrosis

I took vitamin D which was fortified with vitamin E 4 months ago for 2 weeks. and since then my libido has completely disappeared.

I have symptoms of low dopamine and testosterone.
I thought it was related to excess iron caused by vitamin D. because caffeine can boost my libido a bit.
but i will try estrogen

For those who seem to have crashed your estrogen levels with Vitamin E, what kind of Vitamin E were you taking and how much?

I'm attempting to keep my E2 temporarily under control with some D-alpha-tocopheryl succinate (400 IU), but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Is Vitamin E powerful enough in lowering estrogen that it would show up on a blood test? Maybe I need to take it for several days for the effects to show..
