According to the study, which was recently published in the journal Nature, not all vitamins   They are useful for the organism. As it turned out, vitamin E   may adversely affect the skeleton.

Mice that received the excess dose of vitamin intake, showed a significant decrease in   bone to extremely low critical mass that could lead to multiple fractures. Today we know that the bones especially needs regular intake vitamin D While the relationship of vitamin E and bone health to this day have not been fully understood.

The density and size of the bone in the body may vary throughout life. These figures depend on the balance between osteoblasts   - Special cells that create new bone, and osteoclasts - Cells that block this process. By assumption, researchers, vitamin E activates the formation of cells just the latter type, resulting in bone loss exceeds its production. This study completely refute the results of experiments carried out in 2010. The study was suggested the hypothesis that chronic administration of vitamin E is useful for those aged over 50 years to keep the bone structure in optimum condition.

According to experts speak of bone loss can be the case when the vitamin E is in the form of additives. Get excess of this vitamin in its natural form, together with the food a person is very difficult, and therefore the excess can only be observed when taking additional medicines and dietary supplements. Also, physicians are reminded that an excess of almost any vitamin is harmful to the body. By the way, today a number of scientists believe that synthetic vitamin E does not have useful properties such as to prevent the degeneration of neural tissue, for example, it can also lead to prostate cancer ; besides the substance loses its properties.

Among the natural sources of vitamin E can be identified especially hazelnuts, almonds and other nuts, broccoli, spinach and other green vegetables, oils and so on.
