  5. I heard that vitamin E and fish liver oil are good for hair care, so I bought some tablets from the pharmacy. The vitamin E is 400 mg, and the cod liver oil is 300 mg. I'm not sure how many tablets I should take in a day. Can you guide me on the right dosage?

Vitamin E (400mg): The recommended daily intake of vitamin E varies from 15mg to 20mg. Taking 400mg per day is significantly higher than the recommended amount.
