Is Vitamin E to Be Revisited?

Carson R. Reider, MS; George W. Paulson, MD

Arch Neurol. 1997;54(5):527-528.

Abstract
Investigators are beginning to reexamine the use of vitamin E for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Vitamin E was isolated in the 1920s, and the results of animal studies led rapidly to clinical use. Regrettably, vitamin E did not ameliorate the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis for Lou Gehrig, but more recent advances may identify subpopulations that do respond to vitamin E.
