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):
