Hi J,
What sort of vitamin E do you have???? Larry Hoover recommends mixed tocopherols - not alpha tocopheryl acetate.

Hi J,
You need 'mixed tocopherols'.

Hi Jeroen, Ed's right about the mixed tochopherols. But the lastest info in the States is that anything over 200IU a day is bad for you. And I used to take 800IU a day in the past. But didn't you say your eye blinking was better? Fondly, Phillipa

Jeroen, fires is right. It's too high a dose. Who recommended this high dose to you? Fondly, Phillipa

On November 10, 2004, an article was published on the website of the journal, Annals of Internal Medicine, that instantly made headlines around the country.(1) TV and radio news, and newspapers such as USA Today quickly reported that “High dose of vitamin E increases death risk.”(2)

Hi J,
>DL-ALPHA TOCOPHERYL ACETATE
That's bad. You need 'mixed tocopherols'. Hope you have a good health food store :-)

Hey J, I hope you don't mind if I do. The death rate thing is from not getting the best balance between all the different tocopherols. The main one you need is gamma tocopherol, which is the main form of vitamin E in food, and you may find it in a formula with mixed tocopherols in a liquid capsule. Look for one that contains a maximum of the gamma form. Once you start taking that you can take your DL alpha tocopherol acetate with it or alternately. I think that's the story.

Hi Jeroen,
>how much should i take for TD?
Perhaps you could try 800 IU (units) twice a day. This dose has been used with success in patients with TD.
>is there any death risk?
Not if you buy the 'mixed tocopherols'. You need to take the right type of vitamin E. Declan gave some good advice.
Kind regards

Any info saying that vit E is bad for you I think is reserved for the alpha tocopherol form. I don't recall this being applied to mixed tocopherols, but regardless, 1600 IU seems slightly high.

Hi MMM,
>1600 IU seems slightly high
1600 IU was used in trials of vitamin E for tardive dyskinesia.

Yes, I think so. Perhaps a lower dose would be equally effective though?

Hi Jeroen,
My condition was different. But E did appear to help it. I'm not afraid of vitamin E. If you scan the literature there is MUCH more pro than con. Frankly I don't remember what type I was taking when I was doing large doses, it's been several years ago. I still take small dosages because it has positive benefits in a variety of ways. If I had to take a large dose again I would take a natural form which is designated with a "d," as in d-alpha. Synthetic forms will be designated with a "dl," as in dl-alpha. Also I would take mixed tocopherols as other posters have suggested.
Take it for 3 weeks, observe the results then re-evaluate. That's my opinion, I do hope you get some relief.warm regards ~Jake

Freeda Vitamin E 400 IU With Mixed Tocopherols 500 TAB
is this ok? i will take it in high dose 1600 IU or 2000 IU for 2 months
I did research about the danger of vitamin E. please your comments,The synthetic form is dangerous in high doses! However, the Natural Mixed Tocopherols (real vitamin E) has been shown to be perfectly safe, even at higher doses. The different forms of vitamin E are distinct and seperate. Thus, to truly understand vitamin E, you must truly understand the different forms availible.
please check here, PLEASE HELP ME!
I need to make the right choice, i dont want to end up worse
