Vitamin E
A vitamin E test measures the amount of vitamin E in your blood. Vitamin E (also known as tocopherol or alpha-tocopherol) is a nutrient that is found in every cell of your body. It helps your nerves and muscles work well, prevents blood clots, and boosts your immune system so it can fight off infections from germs.
Vitamin E is a type of antioxidant, which means that it protects cells from damage. But if you have too little or too much vitamin E in your body, it can cause serious health problems.
Most people get the right amount of vitamin E from foods, including vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, avocadoes, and green, leafy vegetables. Vitamin E is also added to foods, such as certain cereals, fruit juices and margarine. The amount of vitamin E you get from foods doesn’t cause high levels.
High levels usually happen from taking too many vitamin E supplements. Low levels are often caused by digestive diseases, including malabsorption disorders that make it difficult for your body to digest fat. Your body needs fat to absorb vitamin E. You will probably need to fast (not eat or drink) for 12?14 hours before the test
