I'd like to collect information on how much vitamin E supplements raise serum levels. Please feel free to post anything about the subject here.
I quote a few statements from the vitamin E encyclopedia:
-Doses of 100 to 3200 IU per day were not toxic in healthy adults.
-Supplementation of vitamin E significantly increases serum alpha tocopherol.
-Even small doses (20 mg/day) of supplementation increase serum tocopherol.
-Supplementing vitamin E for three months resulted in high levels of plasma vitamin E that stayed high even after stopping supplementation, suggesting saturation.
-Although supplementation increases plasma levels of vitamin E, it seems to never increase it more than threefold -even megadosing- to a maximum of 70-80 umol/l.
-In one study, supplementing 800 mg daily didn't have a greater effect than supplementing 200 mg daily.
