Gamma tocopherol
Measures the concentration of gamma tocopherol (a form of vitamin E) in your blood.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Gamma tocopherol is an important antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. Adequate levels support immune function and cellular health, while deficiency may increase disease risk.
Understanding Your Results
Normal Range
0.15 – 0.9 mg/L
Overview
Gamma tocopherol is a form of vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that protects your cells from damage. Unlike alpha tocopherol (the most common form), gamma tocopherol has unique anti-inflammatory properties and may provide additional health benefits. This test measures gamma tocopherol levels in your blood, which can reflect dietary intake and nutritional status. Low levels may indicate inadequate nutrition or malabsorption issues, while optimal levels support immune function, cardiovascular health, and cellular protection from oxidative stress.
