I recall my late husband and my mother, who was a registered nurse, both saying how they took one Vitamin E 200 mg. capsule every day. My mother for her eyes, and my husband for his heart. They neither one ever encouraged me to take it. I guess they thought I probably wouldn't because "someone" had told me to!!! and I never did as I was told, I guess.... Anyway, at age 67, with severely near-sighted eyes and one eye having already survived an injury, I am not taking my Vitamin E.
