Foods with Vitamin E

Vitamin E is beneficial for cardiovascular health because it helps the heart, blood vessels and arteries to function. It can be ingested or applied topically. The recommended daily intake for adults is between 14 milligrams and 15 milligrams. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take in 18 milligrams per day. Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare disorder that results in poor absorption of vitamin E. An excess of vitamin E in the body can come as a result of diet. Vitamin E and its benefits were first discovered at the University of California in 1922.
