2. Poor nutrition because no appetite
3. People who lay sick in a long time
4. Recovering from an illness
5. People who need a lot of power due to heavy activity

If they are consumed in the large number and will continue to be stored in the liver, which over time will settle and trigger disease. Avoid taking vitamin E for more than 400 grams a day continuously.
