Does Vitamin E Supplement Cause Hair Loss?
I have been taking 400iu s of Vitamin e for several years now as a supplement, and am concerned that it may be the cause of serious hair shedding or Telogen effluvium, which I ve been experiencing since last year. Now I m really scared. Does this vitamin stay in one s system?

Hello.
Anything is moderation is fine, but if done in excess can result in various I'll-effects out of which you are indeed experiencing one. Please discontinue the supplements and take them only if your body is deficient in them, not otherwise.
Best wishes
