Vitamin E
Explanation: Vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. It’s also important for maintaining the immune system and maintaining nerves and muscles. Vitamin E is found in foods like nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, spinach, and avocados.
Test purpose: Testing its levels helps detect deficiencies, monitor absorption issues, and prevent complications from both low and excessive levels, ensuring overall health and well-being.
- Detect Vitamin E deficiency: Low levels can cause symptoms like muscle weakness, vision problems, or issues with coordination due to nerve damage.
- Monitor people with malabsorption conditions.
- Assess nutritional status: Especially in people with poor diets, malnutrition, or those unable to absorb fat properly (since Vitamin E is fat-soluble).
- Monitor supplementation: High doses of Vitamin E supplements can cause toxicity, so testing ensures safe levels.
