Guest guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Does anyone have recommendation for alpha-tocopherol supplements? I am considering giving them to my 3-year old son. He has a condition called Fragile X syndrome that leads to cognitive impairment and a tendency to autism. A recent study found correction of symptoms in mice from rather high doses (100 mg/kg), which at about 35 pounds would mean 160 mg for my son, much higher than the RDA, but (I think) less than levels that are problematic for thinned blood. The article title says alpha-tocopherol (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18843266), but the actual source was acetate DL-alpha-tocopherol. Apparently, most supplements are made from soybean oil. Is this problematic in terms of soy estrogens or PUFAs or is the vitamin E pretty much isolated out? Anyone used high does of Vitamin E or know a good source?
