Product Description

Natural D-alpha tocopherol oil is a clear, dark amber viscous oil with mild taste and odor. It is derived from edible vegetable oils by suitable physical and chemical means. It is widely used as a source of Vitamin E in food and dietary supplement applications, such as softgel encapsulation.

The active substance is d-alpha-Tocopherol. It is also named RRR-alpha-tocopherol, the only stereoisomer of alpha-tocopherol found in nature. Natural-source Vitamin E, d-alpha-Tocopherol, has the highest biopotency of all the isomeric forms of Vitamin E. 

Prolonged exposure to oxygen, light, and/or certain chemicals may result in gradual darkening. As such, it is recommended that normal storage practices for vegetable oils be followed. These should include minimizing contact with air through the use of nitrogen blanketing, avoiding direct sunlight or elevated storage temperatures, and avoiding unnecessary contact with transition metals or alkaline substances.
