Vitamin E's complex effects on colds
The effect of vitamin E on common cold incidence is modified by age, smoking and residential neighborhood.
Caution warranted in public health
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.

Vitamin E shows potential for colds
Vitamin E and respiratory tract infections in elderly nursing home residents: a randomized controlled trial.
Relevance score indicates some benefit
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.

No significant cold incidence reduction
Vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene in relation to common cold incidence in male smokers.
Low relevance due to findings
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.

Energy boost
The composition is among the best! The benefits of vitamin E are well-known. I’ve ordered vitamins from this brand multiple times and trust its quality. I took 2 capsules twice a day with meals and felt great! I noticed I caught colds less often. The capsules are small, making them convenient to swallow, and they have a pleasant taste. The results have been excellent. I plan to order for the entire family.

Stronger immunity
Vitamin E, or tocopherol, is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage and maintains healthy skin. I began taking vitamin E a few months ago and have noticed positive changes. I chose it to improve my skin and overall health. After starting, my skin became more hydrated and firmer. Fine wrinkles began to smooth out, and my complexion became more even and healthy. Vitamin E also strengthened my immunity, leading to getting colds less frequently and feeling more energetic.

Skin hydration
This is not my first order; during the cold season, I experience skin problems, becoming very dry. Creams and balms haven't helped, but this year, I haven’t needed body cream or face cream right away, as there’s no feeling of dryness. I take one capsule in the morning and another in the evening with excellent results.

Frostbite relief
Was this the reason my chilblains were cured? I am very sensitive to cold and suffer from chilblains every year. This season, I had symptoms on my toes and heels, and when I thought it was only a matter of time before my hands were affected, I decided to try it. I took one tablet every morning. I continued taking it because I was unsure of its effectiveness, but after a month, all the frostbite has disappeared. I’ve tried many things, so I can’t say it’s the only reason, but I believe it’s worth taking.

I purchased this for my mother, and everything is fine. I also give it to my children and take it myself during colds.
