We investigated whether vitamin E supplementation affects the risk of blood clots, specifically venous thromboembolism (VTE), in women. The Women's Health Study involved nearly 40,000 women who received either vitamin E or a placebo over more than ten years.
Our findings revealed that those taking vitamin E experienced a significant reduction in VTE occurrences compared to the placebo group. Notably, women with a history of VTE or certain genetic factors benefited the most from supplementation.
Overall, vitamin E may play a protective role against blood clots, offering promise for at-risk individuals.

We explored how vitamin E affects blood clot breakdown in patients suffering from coronary spastic angina. In a well-structured study, 40 participants were split into groups receiving either vitamin E or a placebo over a month.
We observed that those who took vitamin E experienced significant improvements, with decreased levels of a key clotting factor and a marker for oxidative stress. This suggests that vitamin E may serve as an effective addition to treatments for managing coronary spasms, especially in patients without coronary atherosclerosis.

We explored how inducing heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) could impact blood clot formation in a mouse model. Through a series of tests, we observed that mice treated with a HO-1 inducer showed a significant delay in thrombus formation.
This effect was linked to the production of bilirubin and carbon monoxide, which have protective roles in the bloodstream. Interestingly, when we used a vitamin E analogue, it almost entirely restored this delay in clotting. Overall, these findings suggest that enhancing HO-1 activity may offer a promising approach to prevent undesirable blood clots.

Reduced blood pressure

I had taken Vitamin E 400 units for 30 years but stopped three years ago. My blood pressure rose to 140 systolic, which was unusual for me. After recalling the benefits of Vitamin E, I switched to the NOW brand. Within two days of resuming, my systolic dropped below 120 and has remained stable since. Vitamin E helps keep arteries healthy as we age.

Heart attack protection
22 people found this helpful
The strongest antioxidant, Vitamin E at 400 IU daily, protects against heart attacks and cleanses the blood of harmful fats. This improves circulation and doesn't allow oxidation of "good cholesterol". It's essential for various metabolic processes and supports reproductive health. I notice my skin becomes smoother while taking it with fats, particularly omega acids.

Skin and blood benefits
22 people found this helpful
Vitamin E is vital for heart health and skin. It purifies blood from unhealthy fats, enhancing circulation without the toxicity of conventional blood thinners. It also supports protein synthesis and reduces cellular waste. I combine it with omega acids to maximise absorption and notice improvements, notably for wrinkle prevention.

Our exploration focused on how tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E, influence blood clotting, especially in the context of risk factors like stroke. Using a canine model, we assessed the effects of tocotrienols on platelet aggregation and thrombus formation.
The findings revealed that tocotrienols significantly inhibited both platelet thrombus formation and collagen-induced platelet aggregation. We noticed that tocotrienols could be converted to tocopherols, which might add to their effectiveness. Overall, these results suggest tocotrienols could offer a therapeutic advantage in preventing serious cardiovascular events.

We explored the effects of vitamin E and sesamin on blood pressure and blood clot formation using young rats prone to stroke. The rats were divided into four groups: a control group, a vitamin E group, a sesamin group, and a combination group for five weeks.
Notably, the rats receiving vitamin E and sesamin showed lower blood pressure and thrombotic tendencies compared to the control group. However, while there was some reduction in clot formation, it was not substantial enough to conclude a significant clinical benefit.
Thus, we observed that while vitamin E and sesamin may have some protective effects, their impact on blood clot prevention is not definitively established.

Improved circulation
2 people found this helpful
To enhance blood flow for my worsening Raynaud's symptoms, I've been taking Vitamin E, following the Fujikawa Method. After about a month of taking 2-3 tablets each morning, the whitening of my fingers has steadily decreased. The symptoms have troubled me for over ten years, with no abnormalities found in various tests. While I also take other supplements, I'm astonished by the quick improvement. Additionally, my menstrual cycle has stabilised, and my quality of life is noticeably better.

Monitor dosage

It thins the blood! I've been taking it for about two months, but now my blood doesn’t clot as easily when I get injured. I will reduce my intake and monitor the effects. It’s excellent for thinning the blood.

Caution with clots

Vitamin E is crucial for rejuvenating skin and blood vessels. It makes skin firm and improves blood flow. However, those with blood clots should be cautious, as excessive Vitamin E could exacerbate clot issues.

We examined how vitamin E influences bleeding risks in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation undergoing anticoagulant therapy. In our retrospective study of 566 patients, higher levels of serum vitamin E were associated with increased bleeding events.
Specifically, those who experienced bleeding had significantly higher vitamin E concentrations compared to those who did not. This suggests that elevated vitamin E may predict a higher risk of hemorrhage in patients taking anticoagulants, prompting the need for further research to clarify this relationship with newer medications.
