VITAMIN E

The vitamin E test measures the level of vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant, in the blood. Vitamin E is essential for protecting cells from oxidative damage, supporting immune function, and maintaining skin health. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions affecting vitamin E levels, such as vitamin E deficiency or toxicity. Low vitamin E levels can indicate malnutrition, malabsorption, or genetic disorders, while elevated levels suggest excessive supplementation. The vitamin E test provides valuable information for assessing nutritional status, diagnosing underlying conditions, and guiding treatment decisions to manage vitamin E levels effectively.
