Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that reduces the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that result from fat oxidation.
Vitamin E also regulates cell signaling, influences immune function, and inhibits coagulation.

What does it mean if your Vitamin E (WBC) result is too low?
OPTION A:
If Vitamin E (WBC) is low and Vitamin E (Serum) is normal/excess:
Short term, status of micro nutrients is optimal, but cellular absorption may be a problem.
Recommend interventions:
- increase dietary intake of nutrient
- increase supplementation dosage
- consider status of synergistic nutrients for cellular absorption
- consider levels of oxidative stress on nutrient depletion
- consider follow-up testing to identify the source of my absorption.
OPTION B:
If Vitamin E (WBC) is low and Vitamin E (Serum) is low as well:
Short term and long term status of micro nutrients is not optimal, suggesting low dietary intake, and both intestinal and cellular absorption as possible causes.
Recommended interventions:
- Increase dietary intake of nutrient
- Increase supplementation dosage.
- Medications may have an effect on depletion
- Consider follow up testing to identify the source of malabsorption.
-----------------------------
How it gets depleted:
Vitamin E may become depleted or deficient due to intestinal malabsorption. Smoking also depletes the body’s vitamin E stores.
Clinical Manifestations of Depletion:
Vitamin E deficiency may result in peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, muscle weakness, skeletal myopathy, retinopathy, and increased risk of CVD, red blood cell destruction, prostate cancer, and cataracts.
Food Sources:
Dietary sources of vitamin E include: plant seeds (such as sunflower seeds), walnuts, hazelnuts, olive oil, canola oil, wheat germ oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, tomato, avocado, spinach, and Swiss chard.
Supplement Options:
- The RDA for vitamin E is 15mg/day.
- The UL for vitamin E is set at 1000 mg/day in order to prevent interference in vitamin K clotting pathways.
- The only supplementary form of vitamin E that reverses deficiency symptoms is α-tocopherol.
- In addition, α-Lipoic acid is an important co-factor that can aid in restoring vitamin E levels when depleted.
