Vitamin E supplement Information

1. Table 1 provides the summary of dosage information for vitamin E supplements (vitamin E only and multi-ingredient dietary supplements (MIDS)) listed in no particular order. Where the vitamin E content was provided on the packaging and/or website, calculations have been performed to estimate the maximum daily exposure to vitamin E from the supplement in mg per person per day. Depending on information on the product label, the maximum daily serving was calculated based on the assumption that the supplement is consumed at the maximum recommended daily intake.

2. An internet search was conducted using the term ‘bestselling Vitamin E supplements in the UK’ to perform market analysis of the commercially available vitamin E supplements on sale in the UK only. Table 2 provides the full list of vitamin E supplements (vitamin E only supplements and MIDS) with source information on supplement name, type, retailer, dose information, recommendation for use, composition, and additional information and warnings.

3. There are also a number of drinks available for sale which are marketed as beneficial to health because they are multivitamin drinks, metabolism boosting or similar which contain vitamin E. Some meal replacements drinks also contain vitamin E. These have not been included in the supplements section as they are not considered vitamin E or MIDS supplements. For additional information only, a summary of Vitamin E containing drinks with source information was provided in Table 3.

4. Table 4 provides a summary of vitamin E content in some common foods. This information is based on data UK where possible. This information is presented for information only as the exposure assessment for vitamin E has been performed using a nutrient assessment.

5. Table 5 provides a summary of the daily vitamin E dose resulting from the consumption of the supplements identified for the exposure assessment.

Table 1. Dosage information for vitamin E Supplements (Vitamin E only and MIDS), as sold in UK online retailers at the time of the assessment.

(*) Maximum serving assumes the maximum amount recommended on the packaging or website of the supplement. E.g. if recommended to take 1-2 capsules per day, this table assumes 2 capsules would be taken. Another example is if the website suggests a serving of 2 capsules a day, but the packaging suggests 3, then the highest suggestion has been used.
