 Taking Vitamin E Supplements may Harm Bone Health
A new study published in the journal Nature Medicine warns that taking vitamin E supplements may cause more harm than good since it encourages the generation of bone degrading cells.
Vitamin E is one of the most common forms of vitamins with millions of people across the globe including the supplements in their diet.
