What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, vision problems, or frequent infections that might indicate vitamin E deficiency. It's especially helpful for people with digestive issues like celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, or chronic bowel problems that can affect nutrient absorption. Many people use this test when they want to ensure their vitamin E levels are adequate for immune function, skin health, and overall wellness.

How should I prepare for this test?

You'll need to fast overnight before this test, which means no food or drinks except water for 8-12 hours before your blood draw. This ensures accurate vitamin E measurements since recent meals can temporarily affect results. You can take the test in the morning and eat normally afterward.

What's included in this test?

Vitamin E, Alpha Tocopherol Vitamin E, Beta Gamma Tocopherol

This test measures both Alpha Tocopherol and Beta Gamma Tocopherol, the two main forms of vitamin E in your body. Alpha tocopherol is the most active form that protects your cells from damage and supports immune function, while beta and gamma tocopherols provide additional antioxidant benefits. Together, these measurements give you a complete picture of your vitamin E status and whether you're getting enough through diet or need supplementation.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your vitamin E levels mean for your energy, immune function, and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, supplement suggestions, or whether you should investigate digestive health concerns. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your vitamin E levels over time using our trends feature to see how your nutrition interventions are working.
When will I get my results?
Your results will typically be available within 5 business days after your blood sample is collected at the lab. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready to view in your secure online account, complete with doctor notes and your detailed lab report.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for people with digestive disorders like celiac disease, Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis, or chronic diarrhea that can interfere with fat absorption. It's also valuable for anyone experiencing unexplained muscle weakness, vision problems, numbness or tingling, or frequent infections. People following restrictive diets or those concerned about premature aging and skin health may also benefit from checking their vitamin E levels.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms of vitamin E deficiency include persistent fatigue, muscle weakness, difficulty walking or coordination problems, and vision issues. You might also notice poor wound healing, dry or damaged skin and hair, frequent infections, or numbness and tingling in your hands and feet. These symptoms develop gradually, and testing can identify deficiency before more serious nerve damage occurs.
How can I naturally increase my vitamin E levels?
Boost your vitamin E intake by eating more nuts and seeds like almonds, sunflower seeds, and hazelnuts, which are excellent sources. Include vitamin E-rich oils like wheat germ oil, sunflower oil, and olive oil in your cooking. Leafy greens like spinach and broccoli, along with avocados and whole grains, also provide good amounts of vitamin E to support healthy levels.
What is vitamin E and why does it matter?
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects your cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to aging and disease. It plays a crucial role in immune function, skin health, eye health, and helps prevent nerve damage. Your body also needs vitamin E for proper muscle function and to maintain healthy blood vessels, making it essential for overall wellness and disease prevention.
How often should I retest my vitamin E levels?
If your levels are low and you start supplementation or dietary changes, retest in 3-6 months to ensure your levels are improving. Once your vitamin E levels are in the healthy range, annual testing is usually sufficient for monitoring unless you have ongoing digestive issues. People with conditions that affect fat absorption may need more frequent monitoring every 6 months as recommended by their healthcare provider.

What this means

Your vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) levels are slightly below the optimal range. While this is not critically low, it may contribute to reduced antioxidant protection, occasional fatigue, or decreased immune function over time. This could be due to insufficient dietary intake or absorption issues.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
