Examples include Crohn’s desease, cystic, fribrosis, and certain rare genetic diseases such as Abetalipoproteinemia and ataxia with Vitamin E deficiency (AVED).
Vitamin E deficiency can cause dry hair loss, muscular weakness, slow tissue healing, leg cramps, peripheral neuropathy (weakness, numbness and pain, usually in hands and feet), ataxia (loss of full control of bodily movements), skeletal myopathy (muscle disease resulting into muscle weakness), retinopathy (impairment or loss of vision), and weakened immune response.

(Doses And Side Effects Of Vitamin E)
(Doses And Side Effects Of Vitamin E)
Eating Vitamin E in food is not risky or harmful. In supplement form, however, high doses of Vitamin E might increase the risk of bleeding (by reducing the blood’s ability to form clots after a cut or injury) and of serious bleeding in the brain (known as haemorrhagic stroke). High level of vitamin E may also increase the risk of birth defects (infertility). Low intake may lead to hemolytic anemia.
Doses: The daily recommended dietary allowance of Vitamin E for adults is 15 mg (22.4 International Units (IU)). Because of this risk, the upper limit for adults is 1,500 IU/day for supplements made from the natural form of Vitamin E and 1,100 IU/day for supplements made from synthetic Vitamin E. The upper limits for children are lower than those for adults.

MY EXPERIENCE:
Did you recognize the bald person looking in this picture? Looks like never seen before? Guess … No! He is not a villain of any feature film. HahahaJ ! Trust me, you know him very well... Okay let me introduce him to you… He is none other than the one who is writing this article… Yes! It’s me! And believe me, it was not my passion to get bald. My hairs had stopped growing around some part of my head in 2014. I was anxious of hair fall. I went to the Dr. Afsar Sheikh who diagnosed the deficiency of Vitamin E in my body. He advised me to be bald as a part of my hair care. The doctor injected some injections periodically and prescribed some homeopathic tablets, dermatological soap, ointments and Vitamin E creams to apply on the head. Unfortunately I don’t remember the names of those Vitamin E food supplements; but I followed a diet chart full with ingredients containing Vitamin E during my hair treatment.
After following diet and medicines as per doses prescribed by the doctor, my hair problem is totally cured now. See I am looking like a gentleman now- HahahaJ!!
Although I do not remember the Vitamin E food supplements prescribed to me by the doctor; I know a trusted Vitamin E food supplements if you need.
