Can I Take vitamin e and vitamin c Together?

SUMMARY:

Vitamin C and vitamin E are generally considered safe to take together at typical dietary or supplement doses; vitamin C can help regenerate vitamin E’s antioxidant form. Monitor for issues if using high doses—particularly bleeding risk with high-dose vitamin E or if you are on blood thinners, and gastrointestinal or kidney-stone risks with very high-dose vitamin C.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Both are antioxidant vitamins and do not have a direct harmful interaction at usual doses. Risks to watch: high-dose vitamin E (>400 IU/day in some studies) may increase bleeding risk, especially with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications; high-dose vitamin C can cause GI upset and may increase iron absorption and, rarely, risk of oxalate kidney stones. If you have a bleeding disorder, take anticoagulants, have hemochromatosis, or plan high-dose supplementation, consult a clinician.
