HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin E 180 mg by NATURELO Premium Supplements

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 4 of its 11 active ingredients.
  • “Vitamin E” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (180 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 11 ingredients, with vitamin E being the primary active. Vitamin E here comes as a blend of four tocopherol forms — delta, alpha, gamma, and beta tocopherol — which together make up the total 180 mg dose.

Supporting ingredients include rice bran, blackberry extract, mango extract, coconut, avocado extract, and kiwifruit extract. The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose.

Does it work?

Strong 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Vitamin E deficiency — rated "Effective" (Vitamin E) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED) — rated "Effective" (Vitamin E) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Alzheimer disease — rated "Possibly Effective" (Vitamin E) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Beta-thalassemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Vitamin E) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Dyslipidemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Rice Bran) (Natural Medicines).

Vitamin E is Effective for preventing and treating vitamin E deficiency and a rare nervous system condition called ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED). It's rated Possibly Effective for Alzheimer disease, beta-thalassemia, G6PD deficiency, and intracranial hemorrhage.

Rice bran is Possibly Effective for improving cholesterol levels. Avocado extract is Possibly Effective for high cholesterol.

The evidence we hold for blackberry, coconut, kiwifruit, and mango extracts is either insufficient to rate or not documented for their effects on the conditions they're used for.

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 5 of the 6 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 6 of 6.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 6 of 6.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin E is generally well tolerated at normal dietary amounts, but high-dose long-term supplements may increase the risk of bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke, and other cardiovascular complications — these are rare but serious. Rice bran can cause digestive discomfort (abdominal pain, gas, and irregular bowel movements) when you first increase your intake, and rare allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported.

Coconut and kiwifruit can trigger allergic reactions ranging from hives to anaphylaxis in sensitive people. Avocado may cause problems in people with latex allergy and, very rarely, can cause a severe delayed food reaction.

No pregnancy or breastfeeding data are documented for the delta, alpha, gamma, and beta tocopherol forms, or for avocado extract. Rice bran, coconut, and kiwifruit are rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and lactation at normal food amounts; avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor approves.

Blackberry's pregnancy and breastfeeding safety is not documented.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have a vitamin E deficiency or AVED, this product is a solid choice. If you take blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, or certain chemotherapy drugs, check with your pharmacist first — this supplement's vitamin E and other ingredients carry real risks with those medications.

Pregnant or nursing? Talk to your doctor before starting, since safety data on the vitamin E blend and some extracts aren't on file.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Vitamin E full monograph & interactions

Kiwifruit extract2 drug types · 289 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Clinical research suggests that kiwi inhibits platelet aggregation. Theoretically, kiwi might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Clinical research suggests that consuming kiwi reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Theoretically, concomitant use of kiwi and antihypertensive drugs may increase the risk of hypotension when used in combination with drugs that lower blood pressure. These include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.

Vitamin E 180 mg by NATURELO Premium Supplements: Common Questions

Does Vitamin E 180 mg by NATURELO Premium Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin E 180 mg has a known interaction with 982 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vitamin E 180 mg contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 it safe to take this while I'm pregnant?
We don't have safety data on file for the vitamin E forms in this product during pregnancy. Rice bran, coconut, and kiwifruit are rated Likely Safe at food amounts, but we can't speak to the concentrated doses here. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist — they can weigh the benefits and risks for your situation.
Can this supplement cause side effects?
Vitamin E at the dose here is generally well tolerated, though high doses can increase bleeding risk. Rice bran commonly causes gas, bloating, and irregular bowel movements when you first take it. Allergic reactions to rice bran, coconut, kiwifruit, or avocado are rare but possible — stop and call your doctor if you notice itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives.
Does this actually work for anything?
Vitamin E is proven to prevent and treat vitamin E deficiency. It's possibly helpful for Alzheimer disease, some blood disorders, and certain types of bleeding in the brain. The other ingredients — rice bran for cholesterol, avocado for cholesterol, and the extracts — either have weak evidence or not enough data to say they work for common uses.
What's the difference between the types of vitamin E in here?
This blend contains four tocopherol forms (delta, alpha, gamma, and beta), which are different chemical versions of vitamin E. Your body uses and absorbs them slightly differently, but they all have similar interactions with medications. That's why we flag the whole product, not just one type.
Will this thin my blood?
At this 180 mg dose, vitamin E alone probably won't thin your blood on its own — but if you're already on a blood thinner like warfarin or aspirin, adding this product raises your bleeding risk. The kiwifruit extract adds to that concern. If you take blood thinners, check with your pharmacist first.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
The kiwifruit extract in this formula may lower your blood pressure further, which could cause dizziness or fainting if combined with blood pressure drugs. Talk to your pharmacist before starting — they can tell you if your specific medication is affected.
