What happens when your body is low on vitamin e?

A deficiency of vitamin E can affect the nervous

system and the eyes. It also can cause a form of

anemia ("hemolytic" anemia).

Vitamin E deficiency is very

rare, but it can develop in

people who can't absorb fat

normally. This is because

vitamin E is a fat-soluble

vitamin and needs dietary fat to

be absorbed. People who don't

get enough vitamin E may have

higher risks for Heart disease and cancer.
