Multivitamin and Vitamin E: Can You Take Them Together?

Notable interaction — check before combining

Multivitamin and Vitamin E can interact. Vitamin E from several products contributes to total exposure and may increase bleeding risk, particularly with antithrombotic medicines. A clinically significant dose threshold is not established here. Before adding separate vitamin E to a multivitamin, review vitamin E from all products with a clinician if you use blood-thinning medicines, have a bleeding disorder or the regimen is unclear. No universal safe combined dose is established.

What the evidence says

moderateconflict· moderate evidence

Multivitamins usually contain some vitamin E, and the amount and chemical form vary by product. At high combined intakes, vitamin E can inhibit platelet aggregation and antagonise vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X), which may add to bleeding risk.
