Efectos secundarios:
En noviembre de 2004, la Asociación Estadounidense del Corazón ( American Heart Association ) estableció que altas cantidades de vitamina E pueden ser dañinas. Tomar 400 UI por dÃa, o más, puede incrementar el riesgo de muerte.
Además, se determinó que tomar cantidades más pequeñas, como las que se encuentran en un suplemento multivitamÃnico, no es dañino.
