About this test
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage, with alpha-tocopherol the main form circulating in blood and beta and gamma tocopherols the dietary forms found in many plant oils and nuts. This profile measures all three fractions, giving a fuller view of vitamin E status than alpha-tocopherol alone. Low levels usually trace back to fat malabsorption from celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic or biliary disease, or intestinal lymphangiectasia, and severe deficiency can cause sensory and motor neuropathy, poor coordination, and muscle weakness. Because vitamin E travels on lipoproteins, results are interpreted against blood lipids, since high cholesterol can raise the level independent of true tissue stores.
If your main question is simply whether your vitamin E status is adequate, the single alpha-tocopherol test covers it; this comprehensive profile adds the beta and gamma fractions, which matter mainly when assessing intake balance or high-dose supplementation that suppresses gamma-tocopherol.
Consider it if
- A malabsorption condition such as celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or cholestasis
- Unexplained neuropathy, poor balance, or muscle weakness being worked up
- Following a fat-restricted diet or recovering from bariatric surgery
- Taking high-dose vitamin E supplements and wanting to see the effect on each fraction
- Setting an antioxidant nutrient baseline alongside other fat-soluble vitamins
Why are there member and non-member prices?
Members get Mito's no-markup price on tests. The non-member price is the standard price.
Mito membership is $9/month and unlocks member pricing across the catalog. It's how Mito is supported, so we don't have to mark up your tests or earn more when you buy more. Your member savings are applied at checkout.

Pre-test considerations
No strict fasting requirement, though many labs prefer a morning draw consistent with your usual routine. Note any vitamin E supplements and their dose, since they raise the result, especially the alpha-tocopherol fraction. Because vitamin E rides on blood lipids, results are most meaningful when interpreted alongside a recent cholesterol level.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQsHow does pricing work?
Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. Your price is our cost plus a small amount to run the service, never a profit on the test itself; Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Members pay even less, applied at checkout (membership is $9/mo, and you still pay the lab’s order fee). Prices are itemized before you pay, with no hidden fees.
Where do I get tested?
Choose a partner lab (Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference) at checkout. If your cart spans multiple tests, we consolidate the whole order onto a single lab so you only make one visit.
Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?
Yes. This test is HSA/FSA eligible, and you can pay with your HSA/FSA card at checkout.
When will I get my results?
Your results are typically visible within 1-2 business days of your lab visit. A clinician then reviews them, and your full analysis and personalized action plan — with clear next steps — follow once that review is complete. Specialty assays and at-home kits take longer; each test shows its turnaround before you buy.
Do I need a doctor’s order?
No. Mito provides the lab order for you, so you can book and get tested without a separate doctor visit.
