Hello,
With the question “Does 30-year-old women need vitamin E supplements? ", the pharmacist would like to answer as follows:
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, an important ingredient that helps maintain the normal functioning of organs in the body, is an antioxidant that helps to slow down the processes that cause cell damage.
If you take vitamin E because you want to get its antioxidant properties, keep in mind that this supplement may not provide the same benefits as antioxidants naturally found in foods. Therefore, the American Heart Association (AHA) has issued a recommendation that healthy people should supplement with antioxidants including vitamin E by following a reasonable diet rich in fruits and vegetables. plants, vegetables and grains rather than from dietary supplements, as these supplements pose more harm to health than their benefits.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for the daily amount of vitamin E you need from food and any supplement for women over 14 years of age or pregnant women is 15mg/day (22.4 IU/day), lactating women is 19mg/day (28.5 IU/day). Higher doses can be used to treat vitamin E deficiency , but you should consult your doctor before treatment
If you have any questions about vitamin E supplements, you can visit a Health System hospital Vinmec for further inspection and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
