In our opinion, it is very good to add vitamin E to a child’s diet. So few foods have Vitamin E in them and many people run low on it. We have a product that makes it easy to administer small doses to children (who need less than adults). It is our Liquid version of UNIQUE E MIXED TOCOPHEROLS — UNIQUE E Mixed Tocopherols Oil — in a 1-oz pump bottle. You can put it in cereal or some other food, or even on a spoon. .75ml or slightly more than 1/8 teaspoon = 400I.U. of alpha-tocopherol, so you would want to dose less than that for a child. There are many websites where you can go to see the FDA Recommended Daily Allowance – we have included a chart from one of them here (keep in mind that these are minimums suggested by the government and the milligrams listed are for the alpha only portion of the product):
28 mgs of UNIQUE E will provide the 9 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol recommended for a child 1-3 years
33 mgs of UNIQUE E will provide the 10.5 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol recommended for a child 4-8 years
52 mgs of UNIQUE E will provide the 16.5 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol recommended for a child 9-13 years
70 mgs of UNIQUE E will provide the 22.5 I.U. of alpha-tocopherol recommended for a child 14-18 years
