What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: vitamin E at 400 international units (IU) per softgel capsule. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant your body uses to protect cells and support immune function.

The softgel also contains gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and soybean oil as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Heart health and antioxidant support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Aging skin, Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Cataracts, Congestive heart failure (CHF) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin E is rated "Possibly Effective" for Exercise-induced muscle damage (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin E is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Atherosclerosis, Cataracts, Congestive heart failure (CHF).
  • Also on file: Vitamin E is rated "Likely Ineffective" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The evidence supports vitamin E for treating vitamin E deficiency itself and a rare genetic condition called ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED). The data shows it's possibly effective for Alzheimer disease, beta-thalassemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, and intracranial hemorrhage, though the evidence isn't conclusive for those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin E

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin E from food and normal supplement doses is generally well tolerated. However, high-dose long-term supplements may raise the risk of bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke, and other serious effects — though not all long-term studies show increased stroke risk.

High doses can also increase bleeding risk if you have a vitamin K deficiency or take blood thinners. During pregnancy, amounts from food and prenatal vitamins are appropriate, but avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor directs you to.

While breastfeeding, normal dietary amounts are fine, but talk with your doctor before taking high-dose supplements.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin E

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Vitamin E.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; cancer treatments.
  • For scale: 765 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take blood thinners (especially warfarin), blood clot preventers, chemotherapy drugs, cyclosporine, selumetinib, or niacin, check with your pharmacist before taking this supplement. All of these have moderate interactions with vitamin E at this dose.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This 400 IU dose of vitamin E is mainly useful if you have a vitamin E deficiency or certain rare conditions. If you take any blood thinners, chemotherapy, or other prescription medications, you need to check them against the interaction tool before starting — vitamin E can interfere with how several drugs work.

Talk with your pharmacist about whether this product makes sense for you and your medications.

Vitamin E8 drug types · 764 drugs

Alkylating Agents

Theoretically, antioxidant effects of vitamin E might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents.
There's concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs which generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. However, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that might interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin E have on chemotherapy. Advise patients to consult their oncologist before using vitamin E supplements, especially in high doses.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Concomitant use of vitamin E and anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents might increase the risk of bleeding.
Vitamin E seems to inhibit of platelet aggregation and antagonize the effects of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. These effects appear to be dose-dependent, and are probably only likely to be clinically significant with doses of at least 800 units daily. Mixed tocopherols, such as those found in food, might have a greater antiplatelet effect than alpha-tocopherol. RRR alpha-tocopherol (natural vitamin E) 1000 IU daily antagonizes vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. Advise patients to avoid high doses of vitamin E, especially in people with low vitamin K intake or other risk factors for bleeding.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antitumor Antibiotics

Theoretically, antioxidant effects of vitamin E might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
There's concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of antitumor antibiotic drugs such as doxorubicin, which generate free radicals. However, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that might interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin E have on chemotherapy involving antitumor antibiotics. Advise patients to consult their oncologist before using vitamin E supplements, especially in high doses.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

A specific form of vitamin E might increase absorption and levels of cyclosporine.
There is some evidence that one specific formulation of vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopheryl-polyethylene glycol-1000 succinate, TPGS, tocophersolan, Liqui-E) might increase absorption of cyclosporine. This vitamin E formulation forms micelles which seems to increase absorption of cyclosporine by 40% to 72% in some patients. However, this interaction is unlikely to occur with the usual forms of vitamin E.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, vitamin E might induce metabolism of CYP3A4, possibly reducing the levels CYP3A4 substrates.
Vitamin E appears to bind with the nuclear receptor, pregnane X receptor (PXR), which results in increased expression of CYP3A4. Although the clinical significance of this is not known, use caution when considering concomitant use of vitamin E and other drugs affected by these enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Selumetinib (Koselugo)

Taking selumetinib with vitamin E can result in a total daily dose of vitamin E that exceeds safe limits and therefore might increase the risk of bleeding.
Selumetinib contains 48-54 IU vitamin E per capsule. The increased risk of bleeding with vitamin E appears to be dose-dependent. Be cautious when using selumetinib in combination with supplemental vitamin E, especially in patients at higher risk of bleed, such as those with chronic conditions and those taking antiplatelet drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Using vitamin E with warfarin might increase the risk of bleeding.
Due to interference with production of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, use of more than 400 IU of vitamin E daily with warfarin might increase prothrombin time (PT), INR, and the risk of bleeding,. At a dose of 1000 IU per day, vitamin E can antagonize vitamin K-dependent clotting factors even in people not taking warfarin. Limited clinical evidence suggests that doses up to 1200 IU daily may be used safely by patients taking warfarin, but this may not be applicable in all patient populations.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Niacin

Vitamin E might decrease the beneficial effects of niacin on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
A combination of niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) effectively raises high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels in people with coronary disease and low HDL levels. Clinical research shows that taking a combination of antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium) along with niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) attenuates this rise in HDL, specifically the HDL-2 and apolipoprotein A1 fractions, by more than 50%. Vitamin E alone combined with a statin does not seem to decrease HDL levels. It is not known whether the adverse effect on HDL is due to one of the other antioxidants or to the combination. It also is not known whether it will occur in other patient populations.

100% Natural E-400 IU by Vitamin World: Common Questions

Does 100% Natural E-400 IU by Vitamin World interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, 100% Natural E-400 IU has a known interaction with 764 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
100% Natural E-400 IU contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this vitamin E natural or synthetic?
The label says '100% Natural,' which means it's from a natural source rather than chemically synthesized. The product facts we hold don't specify which form of vitamin E (RRR-alpha-tocopherol or another), so if that detail matters to you, reach out to the manufacturer.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
During pregnancy, the amounts in food and prenatal vitamins are appropriate, but avoid high-dose supplements like this unless your doctor tells you to. While breastfeeding, normal dietary amounts are fine, but check with your doctor before taking high-dose supplements.
Does vitamin E actually help prevent heart disease or dementia?
The data shows vitamin E is possibly effective for Alzheimer disease, but the evidence isn't conclusive. For heart disease prevention and other common uses, the evidence in our data doesn't establish effectiveness — that doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that we don't have solid evidence for it here.
What are the side effects of vitamin E?
At normal doses, vitamin E is generally well tolerated with few side effects. High doses over a long time may increase bleeding risk, and there's a concern about increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke in some populations, though not all studies agree on that risk.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
Vitamin E affects how your body processes certain drugs and interferes with blood clotting — two very different mechanisms that happen to touch a lot of medications. That's why the total count is high even though the product has only one active ingredient.
