what do u know aboout vitamin E?

Question

how should i take it orally or ?

Answer 1

It is meant to be good for skin and hair but If you are getting enough in your diet taking extra supplements won't do anything except for overload your liver. Also remember if you are taking supplements to drink lots of water to help your liver get enough to dilute all of the extra minerals and send it around your body. Vitamin E can act as an anticoagulant and may increase the risk of bleeding problems so a tolerable intake level is 1000mg per day. The following foods are high in vitamin E:
Wheat germ oil (215.4 mg/100 g)
Sunflower oil (55.8 mg/100 g)
Hazelnut (26.0 mg/100 g)
Walnut oil (20.0 mg/100 g)
Peanut oil (17.2 mg/100 g)
Olive oil (12.0 mg/100 g)
Peanut (9.0 mg/100 g)
Pollard (2.4 mg/100 g)
Corn (2.0 mg/100 g)
Asparagus (1.5 mg/100 g)
Oats (1.5 mg/100 g)
Chestnut (1.2 mg/100 g)
Coconut (1.0 mg/100 g)
Tomatoes (0.9 mg/100 g)
Carrots (0.6 mg/100 g)
Vitamin E is often claimed by manufacturers of skin creams and lotions to play a role in encouraging skin healing and reducing scarring after injuries such as burns but it likely has no cosmetic effect on surgery scars, and may even worsen appearance. Vitamin E also contains anti-oxidants which guard against cancer.

Answer 2

You can take it orally or apply directly to the skin. It is an essential vitamin the body needs every day. There are pure vitamin E capsules that you can buy at most any store (they are clear gel capsules and have a slight yellow color to them), and there are also small bottles of this available at many drug stores. Pure vitamin E is also good in aiding faster healing of sores/wounds/cuts/burns. All you have to do is cut open or poke a hole in the capsules and apply directly to the wound. Vitamin E is also great for moisturizing your skin. You can apply the pure oil directly to the skin and rub in like a cream. It will be sticky at first, but let it sit for a few minutes and your skin will be very soft. If there's a specific area that is really rough, put a little extra on the area and let it sit a while before rubbing it in.

Answer 4

Well, what are you taking it for?
If you're using it to help heal cuts or scars, break open a capsule and apply it right to your skin. Otherwise, just take it like you would a normal pill. The recommended dose is about 15 mg/day for a healthy male (so if you're female, a little less.)

Vitamin E I believe can be taken orally. It is also found in a number of hair and skin products. You may also go here for any additional info. >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_e

Answer 6

It makes a good treatment for scaly skin. Just puncture a gel-cap and squeeze the oil out on you skin, and rub it in. Taking 400 iu/day by mouth seems like it helps a wide range of problems.

Answer 7

You can take it however you think it will absorb best. For overall health, take the capsules orally, but for spot treatments on skin, get the liquid that can be applied topically. I have heard it can also help reduce warts.
