We explored the effects of vitamin E supplementation on patients with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS), particularly focusing on symptoms like eczema. In a three-year study, six patients who were already on dietary cholesterol treatment received vitamin E. Their vitamin E levels were initially low, but following supplementation, all patients showed a significant increase in plasma vitamin E concentrations.
Among the various symptoms assessed, including aggression, irritability, and skin issues like eczema, some patients reported improvements. Our findings indicated that three out of the six patients experienced a reduction in symptoms, including skin photosensitivity and eczema. Notably, those who responded best to therapy had lower baseline ratios of certain cholesterol-related compounds.
While the study suggests that vitamin E could provide benefits to SLOS patients—possibly contributing to improvements in skin conditions like eczema—individual responses varied. Thus, vitamin E supplementation may be worth considering in the management of SLOS, especially for those with low initial vitamin E levels and certain biochemical markers.

Eczema cleared up

The pretty little liquid gels are easy to swallow. My doctor suggested taking Vitamin E for eczema, and shortly after starting daily doses, my eczema cleared up. It's been 2 years, and I’m now eczema free.
