Vitamins - definite merits of vitamin e - 2


        VITAMINS - DEFINITE MERITS OF VITAMIN E - 2
In cases of vitamin E deficiency swelling of the intercellular substance in the connective tissue and impaired firmness of the vascular walls have been discovered. Stagnation in the capillaries and bad circulation are connected with this condition, and all of these things lead to metabolic disturbances and increased oxygen consumption.
If these disturbances are diagnosed in the years of development and growth, an increased intake of vitamin E can help. Menopausal problems also respond well to average doses of vitamin E, as do rheumatic ailments. All in all, vitamin E is important in keeping the body functions healthy.
Cows can succumb to brucellosis (undulant fever, Bang's disease), an epidemic infectious disease causing miscarriage, if they lack vitamin E. It can be cured by giving the animals feed that is rich in vitamin E, such as bran that contains wheat germ. Brucellosis can be transmitted to humans, for example by drinking contaminated and unpasteurised milk and by eating infected butter or cottage cheese.
The correct daily dosage of vitamin E has not yet been established. It is assumed that the daily requirement is 15-25 mg. One litre (1.76 pints) of wheat germ oil contains 1 g of vitamin E, so that we would have to take 15 cc (about Vi fl. oz) every day to meet our requirement.
