Vitamin E is fat soluble, and if an excess amount is ingested, it can be toxic.
The recommended amount in the United States is 6-19mg/day depending on the person, but this is a minimum amount required for health. You can and should get more.
The best way to get ample Vitamin E is from vegetables such as Avacado, Spinach, Lettuce, Ochra, Molokheya, cucumbers, and squash, and then take supplement pills "just in case" your diet doesn't provide enough on a daily basis.
Think of pills as insurance- not a primary source of nutrition. Eating a poor diet cannot be made up for with pills. Often you can see bright yellow urine after taking vitamin pills, which means that it was not absorbed by the body.
Vitamin supplements have been called "expensive urine" by more than one nutritionist.
