How much vitamin e would it take to kill you?

Question

I swallowed like 10 vitamin e pills yesterday they contain 667% of the daily value. Is this enough to kill me. I didn't know that you could overdose on vitamins and now I have diarrhea and that is one on the symptoms of an overdose. Please tell me if I am gonna be ok or not I am really scared.

Answer 1

Yup, if you have heart disease that dose could put you at risk of a stroke.



In any case an overdose like that results in: nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, fatigue, weakness, headache, blurred vision, rash, and bruising and bleeding.

Answer 2

Interesting question I must admit. But since each human reacts to things differently it is a difficult question to answer.

I doubt anyone would die from consuming a large amount of vitamin E, however I would expect a person to feel relatively ill at the most.

Answer 3

You can die at around 50mg sometimes it depends on the size of a person. the smaller the person the less it takes to kill you. The bigger you are the more it takes to kill you.
