I have followed your advice on adding Vitamin E to my regimen. I used Unique-E from the Vitamin Shoppe. I am taking 400 mg per day. It does have a beneficial effect on me - improved memory and attention span. However, after a few days it seems to effect my sleep time. I don't seem to be able to sleep much at all. The brain is working overtime all night long. Do you have any solution for this. I am trying only taking it once or twice a week. So far that seems better.
Thanks.
John :D
Do you mean 400 iu? The recommended dosage is 2000 iu or 5 - 400 iu pills in the a.m.
Inability to sleep is a common side effect of many prescription drugs, especially the statins. Are you on any drugs at this time?
As I have mentioned previously, I read a book on the
Miracle of Melatonin more than 10 years ago by Regalson. This book convinced me that melatonin, like other natural hormones, declines with age leading to sleep problems after age 40. My wife and I have been following Regalson's advice for 10 years. We sleep like babies, and my wife can tell when we take an inferior brand of melatonin. This is an orthomolecular therapy.
I hope that the previous "I can't sleep after taking high vitamin C" forum discussion is still available via the search. That discussion might also aid you. I have never heard of such a symptom with vitamin E,
especially uniqu-E, and you might contact the A. C. Grace company to see what they know/suggest and report back. Thx
