=== Pregnancy===
Antioxidant vitamins as dietary supplements have been proposed as having benefits if consumed during pregnancy. For the combination of vitamin E with vitamin C supplemented to pregnant women, a Cochrane review of 21 clinical trials concluded that the data do not support vitamin E supplementation - majority of trials α-tocopherol at 400 IU/day plus vitamin C at 1000&nbsp;mg/day - as being efficacious for reducing risk of [[stillbirth]], [[neonatal death]], [[preterm birth]], [[preeclampsia]], or any other maternal or infant outcomes, either in healthy women or those considered at risk for pregnancy complications.<ref name=CochraneVitE>{{cite journal | vauthors = Rumbold A, Ota E, Hori H, Miyazaki C, Crowther CA | title = Vitamin E supplementation in pregnancy | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | issue = 9 | pages = CD004069 | date = September 2015 | volume = 2016 | pmid = 26343254 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD004069.pub3 | pmc = 8406700 }}</ref> The review identified only three small trials in which vitamin E was supplemented without co-supplementation with vitamin C.
