09 Sep 2019 --- It has been regarded as imperative to consume fat and vitamin E simultaneously for better absorption. But now, Oregon State University (OSU) researchers have found that vitamin E can still be absorbed if a fat-containing meal is consumed within 12 hours of the nutrient’s ingestion. The findings of the study, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition offer a fresh look at how we can better adjust dietary recommendations for vitamin E, as well as potentially influencing future vitamin E guidelines.
