Do you feel like vitamin E should be given to children? |

Do you feel like vitamin E should be given to children? In our opinion, it is very good to add vitamin E to a child’s diet. So few foods have Vitamin E in them and many people are deficient in it. We have a product that makes it easy to administer small doses to children (who need less than adults) – it is our Liquid version of UNIQUE® E MIXED TOCOPHEROLS -- UNIQUE E® Mixed Tocopherols Oil -- in a 1-oz pump bottle. You could put it in cereal or some other food, or even on a spoon. 1/4 teaspoon (1250 mg) equals 400 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol, so you would want to dose less than that for a child. There are many websites where you can go to see the FDA Recommended Daily Allowance – I have included a chart from one of them here (keep in mind that these are minimums suggested by the government and the milligrams listed are for the alpha only portion of the product): 28 mgs of UNIQUE E® will provide the 9 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol recommended for a child 1-3 years 33 mgs of UNIQUE E® will provide the 10.5 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol recommended for a child 4-8 years 52 mgs of UNIQUE E® will provide the 16.5 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol recommended for a child 9-13 years 70 mgs of UNIQUE E® will provide the 22.5 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol recommended for a child 14-18 years http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/vitamins/vitaminE/ The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for RRR-alpha-tocopherol (d-alpha-tocopherol):

What about the mixed tocopherols oil? |
|
What about the mixed tocopherols oil? Is that better then taking a capsule? And how long would one bottle last? What is the recommend dosage use? I read that it can be used for the skin as well...but if it’s just used orally how long would one bottle last you? The Mixed Tocopherols Oil is the exact vitamin E oil that is in the capsules. We developed the liquid version for those customers who prefer to not swallow capsules, for vegetarians and for adjustable dosing to children and pets. The TOPICAL benefit is also fantastic for use on wrinkles, burns, wounds, scars, etc. – before we developed the liquid people would cut open the capsules to apply topically, now, with the 1-oz pump bottle you can apply it more easily. Each 1-oz bottle is the equivalent of 24 capsules of 400 I.U. of vitamin E (1/4 teaspoon = 400I.U.). Read about dosage recommendations here -- Recommended Dosage |

Does Vitamin E take the place of any drug? |
|
I have purchased unique E before, and I do have a question about Vitamin E. I was told in case of headaches, Vitamin E takes the place of any drug such as Advil, Motrin etc...is that true? And if so what form of Vitamin E that you sell would be best? Regarding which of our products would be best for you, we suggest the Mixed Tocopherols Concentrate capsules because they are high Alpha- and Gamma-Tocopherols which provide antioxidant benefits. Also, a good vitamin E product, like UNIQUE E, helps keep the blood thin and increases its oxygenating capabilities. Any question specifically about health situations should be discussed with your primary health care professional. If you do not have a doctor to discuss this with, we may be able to direct you to one of our doctors who understand how vitamin E interacts with various health issues such as headaches. In addition, there are many reports and articles available on the Internet. I would suggest going to GOOGLE and do a simple search like -- vitamin E and headaches. |
