Abstract

Vitamin E has only relatively mild manifestations of hypovitaminosis in humans, which, moreover, are not, in most cases, caused by insufficient content of tocopherols in the diet. Thus, the fact that the actual intake of vitamin E is (worldwide) insufficient in the majority of the population is likely to escape the attention of nutrition policy. This review summarizes current information on the recommended and actual intake of vitamin E and on the risks and possible benefits associated with insufficient or increased intake.
