“Influence insulin sensitivity. Alter estrogen synthesis. Interestingly, the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) reported that higher plasma omega-3 fatty concentrations were associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer.”

“These studies, along with others that include hydrolyzed collagen in combination with vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins C and E, biotin, and zinc, suggest that the consumption of oral hydrolyzed collagen may be effective at improving skin aging.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains what antioxidants are, why they are important, and how they prevent DNA damage, a well-known cancer initiator. Vitamin E and Prostate Cancer However, in the context of someone that already has cancer, DNA damage can activate genes that kill cancer cells.”

“FTA: > Researchers have discovered how vitamin E deficiency may cause neurological damage by interrupting a supply line of specific nutrients and robbing the brain of the 'building blocks' it needs to maintain neuronal health. They found that nutrients needed to build and maintain the brain can be cut by more than half, with possible implications for an elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease.”

“When cells run out of a vitamin or mineral, that scarce micronutrient is allotted to proteins (in the body) essential for short-term survival. Proteins needed for long-term health, including those that protect DNA, lose out and become disabled and lead to diseases of aging.”

“Participants in the study took nearly 20x RDA mega-doses of alpha-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E that may have unique and potentially detrimental effects that could account for this association.”

“01:54:45 - Mixed tocopherol vitamin E supplements are available and are typically in lower doses than those used in studies. 02:01:18 - The RDA for vitamin D is 600 IUs a day, but 2000 to 4000 IUs are probably acceptable except in cases of severe deficiency.”

“Using a Mendelian randomization analysis, scientists determined that people carrying genetic variants associated with low vitamin D levels have higher mortality from respiratory tract infections and higher all-cause mortality.”
