These studies suggest that the recommended daily intake of vitamin E as alpha-tocopherol is 13 mg for adults, with variations for women and children, but most people worldwide do not meet this intake, and some may benefit from higher doses for specific health outcomes.
Vitamin E, specifically α-tocopherol, is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage. Determining the appropriate daily intake of vitamin E is important for maintaining overall health.
The research suggests that the daily intake of vitamin E should be around 13 mg for adult men and 11 mg for adult women, with specific amounts for children and infants. While recommendations vary internationally, there is a consensus that intakes are often below these levels. High doses of vitamin E from supplements may not be beneficial and could be harmful, indicating that moderation is key. Some studies suggest that higher intakes may have specific health benefits, such as preventing coronary atherosclerosis. Overall, it appears that a significant portion of the global population does not meet the recommended daily intake for vitamin E.
