Vitamin E Re: Does fish oil contain mercury

[Guest guest]

No, Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in eight different

forms. Each form has its own biological activity. It is added

sometimes to CLO as a preservative. Our CLO (Green Pastures) does not

contain E. Caution about E: large doses of vitamin E can interfere

with the blood clotting functions of other vitamins, like K.

Typically a daily dose of no more than 200IU is recommended for

children.

Other cautions: " ...There was a big discussion on ABMD entitled " Fish

Oil Favorites " that talked about E in CLO. One thing that came up was

that apparently a vitamin E that has has a " large " amount of the

alpha-tocopherol form without the other 7 forms (especially the gamma

form perhaps) is not good, and pushes the gamma form down in the

body. And that it takes a long time for it to come back up, although

I assume that's without supplementation. " There is more info on this

available if someone wants it.
