Hypervitaminosis E Classification and external resources
Tocopherol, or vitamin E.

Hypervitaminosis E is a state of Vitamin E toxicity. Because vitamin E can act as an anticoagulant and may increase the risk of bleeding problems, many agencies have set an upper tolerable intake level (UL) for vitamin E at 1,000 mg (1,500 IU) per day.^[1]
