effects of vitamin E on neurological disorders and cardiovascular disease to
the overall safety of vitamin E supplementation in the general population and
the elderly.

published in the Journal of Archives of Neurology in 2004 found in 4,740 men
and women over age 65 who took daily doses of 500-1500 mg of vitamin C and
400-1000 IU of Vitamin E reduced the prevalence and risk of Alzheimer disease.
