Your vitamin E level supports normal antioxidant protection, immune function, and red blood cell integrity.
Very low vitamin E (noticeable deficiency) may contribute to a serious neurological syndrome — progressive loss of balance, coordination (spinocerebellar ataxia), and peripheral nerve damage. Muscle weakness and vision problems also develop. This requires urgent treatment.
Seek urgent medical care. High-dose vitamin E supplementation under medical supervision is needed. Fat malabsorption disorders must be investigated as the likely cause.
Vitamin E: {{value}} {{unit}} — very low (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Low vitamin E reduces your body's antioxidant defences against cell-damaging free radicals. Red blood cells become more fragile (hemolytic anemia risk), immune function is reduced, and nerve cells become more vulnerable. Fat malabsorption or a very low-fat diet are common may contribute to.
Increase vitamin E-rich foods: nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil, and leafy greens. Consider a vitamin E supplement (400 IU natural d-alpha-tocopherol). See your doctor if malabsorption is suspected.
Vitamin E: {{value}} {{unit}} — below reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Borderline low vitamin E often reflects a low-fat diet (vitamin E requires fat for absorption) or insufficient intake of nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils.
Include more vitamin E-rich foods — especially almonds, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, and olive oil. Pairing with dietary fat ensures absorption.
Vitamin E: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowYour vitamin E level supports normal antioxidant protection, immune function, and red blood cell integrity.
No action needed. Continue a balanced diet with healthy fats and nuts.
Vitamin E: {{value}} {{unit}} — within reference rangeYour vitamin E is in the healthy midrange, providing robust antioxidant protection for cell membranes, nerves, and red blood cells.
Excellent result. Keep up healthy fat intake from whole food sources.
Vitamin E: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalBorderline high vitamin E is usually from supplementation. At mild elevations, it is not typically harmful, but very high doses can interfere with vitamin K and increase bleeding risk.
If taking supplements, consider reducing to 200–400 IU daily. Avoid very high doses if on blood thinners.
Vitamin E: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highHigh vitamin E from aggressive supplementation can inhibit vitamin K-dependent blood clotting factors, increasing bleeding risk. Some research suggests very high vitamin E supplements may paradoxically increase overall mortality risk.
Reduce vitamin E supplementation. Discuss with your doctor, especially if on anticoagulants (warfarin, aspirin). Food-based vitamin E is not associated with these risks.
Vitamin E: {{value}} {{unit}} — above reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})At this level, vitamin E noticeably interferes with blood clotting. Risk of hemorrhagic stroke and abnormal bleeding is noticeably elevated, particularly in people taking any anticoagulant or a drug that prevents clotting medication.
Stop all vitamin E supplements immediately. Seek medical evaluation. Check coagulation profile and discuss with your doctor urgently.
