Is it ok to take 400 iu of vitamin e if i have had a heart attack and chf? i have taken vitamin e for yrs and wanted to make sure it was ok.

Vitamin E: the HOPE trial did not demonstrate any cardiovascular benefits from vitamin E, rather in women risk of adverse effects was more likely. A balanced diet should provide enough vitamin E for most individuals.

Dr Saghafi and another doctor agreed
