Vitamin E deficiency
If the above vitamin is deficient, if this occurs because it is very rare, there is a serious disorder in the absorption of nutrients. Anemia or brain damage could occur. This is based on an adult.
When it comes to small children born prematurely, a deficiency of vitamin E often occurs, because this vitamin is insufficiently produced in the intestine, because the digestion has yet to get started. This causes anemia, edema and an increase in the number of platelets. But the above also occurs to a lesser extent. For vitamin E, children should take in about 3 to 6 milligrams per day. Adults should count on 8 to 10 milligrams per day. Pregnant and breastfeeding women may use a higher dose (10-12mg).
