Measures vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), an antioxidant involved in red blood cell formation, immune function and how your body uses vitamin K. Suited to anyone wanting to check for a deficiency of this specific nutrient.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that supports red blood cell formation, helps maintain a healthy immune system and helps your body use vitamin K effectively. This test measures only that one marker, so it answers a specific question about your vitamin E status rather than giving a wider nutritional picture.
We do not yet track any directly comparable vitamin E tests, so this score is judged against the broader group of vitamin tests we cover. It scores reasonably on clinical depth for a single-marker test, but loses marks on value for money, since £101 sits around 19% above the £85 median for similarly sized vitamin tests, and on collection convenience, because it requires a venous blood draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit rather than a finger-prick kit.
It scores well for clarity, since Medichecks publishes the marker, sample type, turnaround and collection options in full, and well for trust signals thanks to the Trustpilot rating, lab accreditation and doctor review that come with every Medichecks test. Results and follow-up also score well because a doctor reviews your result as standard.
This suits someone who specifically wants to check their vitamin E level, for example if a GP has raised concerns about fat absorption or antioxidant status. It is not the test to choose if you want a broad nutritional overview, since it covers a single marker at a price above the typical single-marker vitamin test; a multi-marker vitamins panel would tell you more per test if that is what you need, though you should compare total cost carefully.
This is a blood test. You can have your sample taken at a Medichecks in-store clinic, via a home nurse visit, or as a venous draw at a clinic; there is no at-home finger-prick option for this test. Results are typically ready in around 10 days, and every result includes a doctor's written comment.
This single-marker vitamin E test costs £101, around 19% above the £85 median for similarly sized vitamin tests we track. It is reviewed by a doctor and returned in around 10 days, but you will need a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit since there is no at-home kit. There are no directly comparable vitamin E tests in our data to weigh it against.
The listing publishes a short description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
