Vitamin E: What Is It Good For? Absolutely Everything.

The Vitamins and Nutrition Center reports that:
. . . Vitamin E is naturally an oil, and is (compared to other nutrients) a bit expensive, so many pill-based multi-vitamins skimp and give you a very small amount (40-60 IU's) of vitamin E a day.  Your average Centrum Performance gives you just 60 IU's a day--so consider extra supplementation or find a high quality multivitamin that gives you 400 IU's instead of just 40 or 60.  Why?  As just one example, the clinical benefits of Vitamin E's protective effect against Alzheimer's disease does not appear until at least 400 IU's a day, even though the US RDA is just 30 IU's per day.

Dr. Mercola's comments on Vitamin E are useful.
