Question
Hi, I have a 3 year old son who has a speech delay. I have been giving him Nordic Naturals Omega 3,6,9 Junior to help with this. I have been giving him just 1 capsule, even though the serving size is 2 capsules. The reason for this is that 2 capsules contains 15 IU of Vitamin E. I have read that the RDA of Vitamin E for his age is 9 IU. I have seen childrens vitamins that contain 20 IU and up of Vitamin E, so, I would think that 15 IU would be ok, but I would just like to get your advice on this. Thanks for your help
Hi Jennifer,
I have not heard of anyone overdosing on Vitamin E. It is fat soluble and can accumulate in fat tissue. For now carry on with the current regime. I suggest you cinsult a nutritionist for appropriate and safe amount of Vitamin E for for your son.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
