Vitamin C and vitamin E can generally be taken at the same time.
When vitamin C and vitamin E are taken at the same time, there are no adverse drug interactions between the two and they do not affect the effectiveness of the two. Vitamin C and vitamin E are both found in everyday foods, such as spinach, cherries, and kiwis.
Vitamin C is used against scurvy and as an adjunctive therapy for diseases such as allergic purpura to improve the permeability of capillary walls. Vitamin C acidifies the environment of the gastrointestinal tract, thus promoting iron absorption.
Vitamin E can counteract the peroxidizing effect of free radicals, play a role in anti-aging, skin protection, can enhance ovarian function, prevent habitual abortion. It can be used as an adjunctive treatment for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and habitual abortion.
It should be noted that both vitamin C and vitamin E are not recommended to be taken for a long period of time because vitamin C is acidic, and taking vitamin C tablets for a long period of time may increase the risk of urinary tract stones. Adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, dizziness and headache may occur with prolonged use of vitamin E, but not in all patients.
Therefore, vitamin C and vitamin E need to be taken under medical supervision.
