Bleeding risk: The most significant risk is hemorrhage with high dose Vitamin E. Bleeding is uncommon however unless the dose is > 1000 mg/day (unless the patient is taking taking oral coumarin or warfarin). So to answer your question..140% RDA should be safe. The upper limit for adults aged ≥ 19 yr is 1000 mg for any form of α-tocopherol.
