substances, called free radicals, less damaging to body. Preliminary studies have shown that vitamin E can calm portions of immune system that are involved in allergic reactions. The new study investigated effect of vitamin E on symptoms of allergic rhinitis in 112 men and women. The participants were assigned to receive either 800 IU of vitamin E per day, or placebo for ten weeks, in addition to continuing on their current anti-allergy medications as needed to control symptoms. The amount of medication used to alleviate symptoms and occurrence of nasal symptoms (sneezing, itching, stuffiness, and runny nose) and eye symptoms (watering, itching, redness, and swelling) were recorded.Nasal symptoms were significantly less in group receiving vitamin E than in placebo group. In particular, vitamin E group experienced much less nasal stuffiness than placebo group. Eye symptoms were not changed by treatment with vitamin E, and use of antiallergy medications did not differ between two groups. The amount of vitamin E used in this study is within safe daily intake range; much larger amounts have been used to treat other conditions. Vitamin E appears to be a useful adjunct to medical treatment for allergic rhinitis.
