Vitamin E - "more harm than good" when used too much, aging occurs faster
For women, Vitamin E is considered a "miracle drug" to rejuvenate the skin, prevent aging and oxidation. Many people think that vitamin E has so many uses that the more you use, the better, but few of us know that "the benefits do not outweigh the harm" when you use too much vitamin E, leading to rapid aging.
When we get old and go to the doctor, he often prescribes medicine with Vitamin E supplement and after taking the medicine, we feel healthy, have bright pink skin and feel comfortable. From then on, our grandparents trusted Vitamin E too much and popularized it to their children and grandchildren to use as early and as much as possible, especially for women.
That is why vitamin E has become a "companion" of many women to improve health and beauty. In addition, with the communication about Vitamin E on mass media, using the drug has become a trend tobeauty protectionof the sisters.

According to some studies, when women reach pre-menopause, vitamin E only has the effect of reducing hot flashes and some other troubles such as menstrual disorders. But many women have abused it, regularly injecting vitamin E as a cosmetic to prevent wrinkles and loss of beauty.
This not only leads to wasting money but also leads to drug resistance so that when it is really needed, too high a dose must be used. Recently, there have been cases of death due to direct injection of tocopherol (the most important ingredient in vitamin E) into the veins.
Experts recommend that: each day only needs an average of 8-10mg of vitamin E, so it is best absorbed through the diet with foods such as vegetable oils, green vegetables, meat, fatty fish, eggs, milk...
High doses of vitamin E (over 400 IU/day) promote oxidative damage and suppress other anti-aging agents. Symptoms of excessive vitamin E intake include digestive disorders, fatigue and weakness, and even, if not prescribed by a doctor, can increase the risk of lung cancer.
So, women over 30 years old can use it every day but should only use it for 1-2 months and then stop for a while before using it again. Especially people with diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, allergies, liver failure, kidney failure... need to supplement vitamin E but not more than 400 IU per day and should use it every 1-2 months.
In short, vitamin E is “more harmful than beneficial” when used, so for normal healthy people, the best way to supplement is still food. And if you use Vitamin E, you should use the correct dosage and every 1-2 months, then stop for a while before using it again.
