When To Take It
Vitamin E is best taken with meals that contain fat to optimize absorption. Oil-based supplements can be taken at any time of day.
Synergy and Antagonism
Vitamin E synergizes with vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, K, coenzyme Q10, and polyphenols, as well as minerals like calcium, potassium, selenium, and zinc, to support immune function, antioxidant defense, and cellular health. Excessive intake of iron, magnesium, zinc, or polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may reduce its effectiveness.
