We examined how vitamin E affects common cold incidence among different groups. In our study involving over 14,500 participants, we found that older smokers living in cities benefited from vitamin E, showing a 46% reduction in cold risk.
In contrast, those who smoked more and lived in rural areas faced a higher cold risk with vitamin E intake. This suggests that vitamin E's impact can vary greatly based on age, smoking habits, and where one lives, indicating the need for cautious public health guidelines regarding vitamin E supplementation.

We aimed to find out if a daily dose of 200 IU of vitamin E could help reduce respiratory tract infections in elderly nursing home residents over a year.
Conducted at 33 care facilities, our study involved 617 participants aged 65 and older, with 451 completing it.
While vitamin E supplementation didn’t significantly reduce lower respiratory infections, we did notice it offered some protection against upper respiratory infections, especially the common cold, suggesting this area is worth exploring further.

We explored the impact of vitamin E, along with vitamin C and beta-carotene, on the common cold in a large group of 21,796 male smokers. Over four years, we monitored cold episodes through regular surveys.
Unfortunately, our findings revealed no significant benefit of these vitamins on reducing cold incidence overall. However, for men aged 65 and older, a slight decrease in colds was noted among those taking vitamin E, particularly in those who smoked fewer than 15 cigarettes daily.

Cold prevention

I purchased Vitamin E to help prevent catching the common cold, as I typically fall ill during seasonal changes. This year, however, I felt fine. Since Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, I limit my intake to one tablet every four days.

Cold feet relief
4 people found this helpful
I've heard this is good for frostbite and menopause, so I bought it. It seems beneficial to take it with vitamin C after meals. After three days, my feet no longer feel cold, and I take it both morning and evening. Although I’m cautious about overdosing, I feel that two tablets daily is optimal. The fishy smell isn't off-putting, and its size makes it easy to swallow.

Improved immunity

I have experience with vitamins and supplements from the Now brand. My doctor prescribed vitamin E to enhance my skin condition. I previously chose a cheaper yet renowned brand. This brand's superiority in quality is evident. After nearly a month of taking the vitamins, my skin feels much better during this cold period, as they say.

Dramatic pain reduction

Suffering from menstrual cramps for years, I tried various supplements to no avail. However, since taking Vitamin E twice daily, I've noticed a dramatic reduction in menstrual pain. It’s been almost non-existent by the second month. I also feel my sensitivity to cold has lessened, and blood flow has improved overall.

Reduced PMS symptoms
I take this for PMS, adjusting the dosage effectively for frustration and to enhance blood flow. My sensitivity to the common cold has decreased, allowing me to continue. Drinking with mineral supplements in the morning feels more effective. I can now sleep without socks in winter, and in summer with air conditioning, I wear short sleeves happily!
