Final Thoughts
Vitamin E is an essential nutrient with powerful antioxidant and brain-protective properties. However, like many nutrients, more is not always better.
When consumed in appropriate amounts—especially from natural foods—vitamin E supports overall health. But excessive supplementation may carry risks, including an increased chance of certain types of stroke.
The key is balance: focus on a nutrient-rich diet and consult a healthcare professional before adding high-dose supplements.
