Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that has been studied for its potential role in supporting the circulatory system, primarily through its effects on cardiovascular health. Historically, vitamin E was thought to prevent heart disease by protecting low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from oxidative damage, which is a factor in the development of atherosclerosis. Early observational studies suggested that people with higher vitamin E intake had a lower risk of heart disease. However, large randomized controlled trials, such as the Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation (HOPE) study and the Women’s Health Study, have generally failed to show that vitamin E supplementation reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in the general population or in people with existing heart disease.

There is some evidence that vitamin E may be beneficial in specific populations, such as individuals with certain rare genetic disorders affecting vitamin E metabolism. However, for the general population, scientific consensus does not support routine vitamin E supplementation for cardiovascular protection. In some cases, high doses of vitamin E have even been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Thus, while vitamin E plays an important role as a nutrient and antioxidant, current scientific evidence provides limited support (rated 2/5) for its use specifically to support the circulatory system.
