Vitamin E (800 IU) - What the Research Says

Vitamin E in the Protocol


Joe Tippens stated he took 800 IU of vitamin E daily as part of his protocol.


The Rationale


Vitamin E is an antioxidant that:

  • Protects cell membranes
  • Supports immune function
  • May have synergistic effects with other compounds

  • Important Notes


    1. **Natural vs. Synthetic**: Natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) is more bioavailable

    2. **Full spectrum**: Some protocols recommend mixed tocopherols

    3. **High doses**: 800 IU is higher than RDA - consult your doctor


    Safety Considerations


  • May interact with blood thinners
  • High doses require medical supervision
  • Regular monitoring recommended
