Measures alpha-tocopherol — a key fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. It plays roles in immune function, skin health, and cell signaling. Deficiency is rare but can occur in people with fat malabsorption conditions like Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis, or certain liver diseases. Both low and excessively high levels can cause health problems. **Clinical use:** Vitamin and nutrient testing identifies deficiencies that can drive fatigue, immune dysfunction, neurological symptoms, and long-term disease risk — and confirms that supplementation is working. ## Who should order it? Anyone with restrictive diets (vegan, low-fat, low-carb), malabsorption conditions, fatigue, hair loss, mood changes, or currently supplementing and wanting to verify dosing. ## Biomarkers measured - [Vitamin E (Alpha-Tocopherol)](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/vitamin-e) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $40.99 | $46.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | Labcorp | $40.99 | $46.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | Rhode Island is not served.
