Vitamin E Deficiency Questions

Asked for female, 39 years old from Shillong

Hi. Thanks for the query.
Firstly understand that supplements or medication are taken only if you are deficient in a nutrient or your requirement is high or you have a medical condition that calls for the supplementation. So, don't goggle medicate yourself. Get yourself assessed by a doctor or Dietician and see if you need supplementation.

Do not worry too much about these type or articles, they are for research purpose. Also you take Vit E in the form of whole food, not isolated, hence it is safe and it works as anti-oxidant in the body. On net you will find many contradictory reports like on soybean, flaxseeds etc. As long as you are eating in moderation as whole food, not supplements, you are safe. Nature knows the best.

Asked for Male, 20 years old from Guntur

Hello doctor, I've been 20 years old and have never eaten vegetables since childhood. When I was a kid, my mom used to force me to eat, but I feel like vomiting, and i'll spit from childhood itself. I'm getting some body issues like skin problems, hair fall, etc. Can I take multivitamin supplements? I read so many answers and reviews on quora from those who shared the same problem. They said this feeling energetic about veggies lasts forever and there is no cure. Then what should I do? I don't want to suffer in the future.

Dr. Amar Deep93%(15311 ratings)

Homeopathy Doctor•Raebareli

Better start with juices of vegetables and or in soup form. Remember natural protein and vitamin are easily digested and absorbed in body.
Synthetic form of vitamin and mineral is not good at all secondly you can check with a homeopath doctor and take homeopathic medicine to relieve your symptoms.

Asked for female, 32 years old from Kochi

I was having vitamin d level 11. Then I started taking cholecalciferol-d3 60000 once in a week for 8 weeks as instructed by my doctor and vita d became 77. So I stopped taking supplement. After 5 months I again started feeling heart palpitations, anxiety, random muscle pain, fatigue and headache. So I checked vitamin d again and it is 14. Why is it dropping so fast? Should I take some other test? Will it be dropping fast because of some other issue?

Yes, you have understood it right.
The deficiency is not because of lack of supply.
