Based on available information, Vitamin E isn't specifically listed among the supplements that people with MG should avoid. The main supplements to be cautious about include magnesium, high-dose vitamin D, zinc, echinacea, melatonin, and creatine.

However, this doesn't automatically mean Vitamin E is safe for everyone with MG. Supplements can interact with medications differently for each person, and some may affect immune function or muscle health in ways that aren't fully understood.

Before adding Vitamin E or any supplement to your routine, it's important to discuss it with your neurologist or healthcare provider. They can review your specific medications and health situation to determine if it's appropriate for you.

Your healthcare team can also help you choose reputable brands that undergo third-party testing, since supplements aren't regulated by the FDA for quality and purity.
