Does High-fiber foods Affect Vitamin E?
May affect absorption or how you feel
The short answer
Fiber interferes with fat digestion and micelle formation, reducing absorption of fat-soluble vitamin E.
How to arrange timing
Take vitamin E with a low-fiber, fat-containing meal. Separate from high-fiber meals by 2 hours.
