Indication: Skin disorders

Source: International Journal of Dermatology, 2002;41:146-150.

Research: Researchers asked 96 patients with atopic dermatitis to take either 400 IU of natural-source vitamin E or placebos daily for eight months. Among the initial symptoms were facial redness, thickening of the skin, eczema and itching.

Results: Patients taking vitamin E supplements had significant improvements compared with those taking placebos. Seven of the patients taking vitamin E had nearly complete remissions of atopic dermatitis compared with none in the placebo group. Overall, 23 people taking vitamin E experienced great improvement and 10 had slight improvements. Only four patients taking vitamin E actually worsened during the study, compared with 36 in the placebo group. IgE levels decreased by 62% in the vitamin E group who experienced great improvement or remission, but only 34% in the placebo group experienced a decrease in IgE levels.
