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.

I’ve been using it since 1979 as it works well for me. Initially, my seniors recommended it for my cold hands, and ever since, they have been warm.

Cured chilblains
My chilblains have cured since I started taking this supplement. Although I had initial concerns about side effects like nausea, I experienced none. It took about two weeks for my chilblains to improve, and I plan to continue taking it for my sensitivity to cold.

Eased menstrual pain

I take one tablet after breakfast and dinner along with other supplements. I started using it in winter but did not notice a visible effect initially. However, after about two months, my painful periods became easier, and I've had fewer migraine attacks, so I will continue taking it.

I want to continue with this as I feel I recovered quickly from a common cold. I was advised that vitamin E is crucial for immunity, and I've found it beneficial. The capsules are large, but I can manage them with plenty of water.
