My MO recently told me not to take anything with Vitamin E. After reading about the studies on Vitamin E I was surprised I had not been told this by my Uro, MO or RO long ago. I recently found an organic multiple containing vitamins derived from all natural sources, including Vitamin E derived from rice bran. None of the daily values of each vitamin exceeded 100%. I have also read about rice bran and its potential protective effect on PC. Would it be advisable to take this form of vitamin E in a multiple vitamin rather than the synthetic form contained in most vitamins, or rather to avoid multiple vitamins altogether, especially any form of vitamin E?

Thanks for your input and opinions.

This is because the evidence either way is not strong. These are not randomized, controlled trials, so two things: (1) correlation is not causation, and 2) read the study wording closely and don't generalize study results to the broader population. Don't get tripped-up by article titles; illustrative examples:


My advice: exercise and eat a very well balanced diet, and skip the vitamin supplements.
