The Aqua-E Advantage
VITAMIN E MALABSORPTION: COMMON, EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND PREVENTABLE
by Andreas M. Papas, Ph.D.
It may be hard to believe that in the midst of an abundance of food and a plethora of supplements, many people would develop clinical vitamin E deficiency. A dramatic example is cholestasis, a condition in which excretion of the bile is stopped. Cholestatic children develop very serious and often fatal degenerative neurological diseases due to malabsorption of vitamin E. While serious cholestasis is rare, many other common diseases and physiological conditions cause varying degrees of malabsorption with subclinical deficiency. Unfortunately, vitamin E deficiency may go undetected for decades but the cumulative damage to muscle and nerves is debilitating and irreversible.
