Vitamin E below the range is commonly associated with fat malabsorption, very low fat intake or low blood lipids.
Commonly associated with
- Fat malabsorption
- Very low fat diet
- Low blood lipids

If your Vitamin E is high
Vitamin E above the range is commonly associated with supplements, and it travels with blood fats, so high cholesterol can raise it.
