It plays an important role in maintaining healthy skin, eyes, and immune system function. Symptoms of vitamin E deficiency may include muscle weakness, vision problems, and neurological issues. High levels of vitamin E can also cause health problems, such as bleeding and bruising, and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
