The food amounts you'd need to get 400 IU a day would be: 2 qts. oil, 5 pounds wheat germ, 8 Cups of almonds, or 28 Cups of peanuts. You can see why any reasonable diet can only supply a fraction of the amount we can consume from food. Daily amounts generally range around 25 IU of Vitamin E daily. Some people don't know this but your skin is an organ. It’s one of the two organs of your body that is able to regenerate itself to some extent, depending on the amount of damage. The other organ that can regenerate itself is the liver. Both the liver and the skin can regenerate only if there is not too much damage! It is vital that you get enough of this vitamin to support and protect your cells and your precious skin! I suggest taking 400 - 800 IU a day. (International Units)
Precautions: If you have a clotting disorder or take a blood thinner like Coumadin, Heparin, or Aspirin, you should not take more than 200 IU daily. It is also prudent to stop taking the E Vitamin a week or two before or after surgery.
