About this test

The vitamin E test measures alpha-tocopherol, a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cells and supports nerve, muscle, eye, and immune health.

Normal vitamin E levels are about 5.5–17 mg/L in adults, varying by lab.

Low vitamin E occurs with fat malabsorption, cystic fibrosis, liver disease, and in premature infants. Vitamin E deficiency symptoms include muscle weakness, poor coordination, numbness, vision problems, and hemolytic anemia.

High vitamin E levels, from excess supplements, increase bleeding risk, especially in people taking blood thinners.

Questions about this test

When should I get the Vitamin E test?

You should get a vitamin E test if you have muscle weakness, poor coordination, numbness, tingling, or vision problems. It is also recommended for people with fat malabsorption, cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, or liver disease, for premature infants, and for those taking high-dose vitamin E supplements, especially with blood thinners.

How should I prepare for the Vitamin E test?

Fasting for 8–12 hours is usually recommended before a vitamin E test, and you may drink water during this time. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the test. Inform your doctor about any vitamin E, multivitamin, or blood-thinning medications, as you may be advised to stop supplements temporarily. Follow your lab's specific instructions.

Do I require fasting for the Vitamin E test?

Yes, fasting is usually recommended for a vitamin E test. You should fast for 8–12 hours before giving your sample, though drinking water is allowed. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand, and inform your doctor about any vitamin E or multivitamin supplements you take, as they can affect the results.
