Severity
Info
Evidence
moderate
Timing
Together with a fatty meal.
How it works
D3 and E are absorbed via fat-dependent micelle formation in the gut but do not compete for uptake at normal concentrations.
Some animal studies suggested high-dose Vitamin E could interfere with D metabolism, but human data at standard doses (400–800 IU E) shows no meaningful interaction.
What to do
Take both with a meal that includes fat. No separation needed.
