D-Alpha Tocopherol - 1,000 I.U. per gram

D-alpha tocopherols, commonly known as "Vitamin E" on vitamin and supplement labels, is a fat-soluble, oily liquid that is slightly yellow to brownish red in color with a mild taste and odor. Vitamin E's derivatives are broken down into 2 groups, tocopherols and tocotrienols, and each group has 4 homologues, named alpha, beta, gamma and delta. D-alpha tocopherol is prevalent in the human body and naturally occurring in meat, fruit, vegetables, oils, grains, seeds and nuts. This form of vitamin E, also known for its antioxidant properties, is commonly used as a dietary supplement and throughout the cosmetic industry in various personal-care product formulations. Please note D-alpha tocopherol will slowly darken in appearance when exposed to light and oxygen.

To prevent oxidation in products and extending shelf-life, D-Alpha tocopheryl acetate, in our product offering called "Vitamin E-Natural-Non-GMO", is the acetate ester of D-alpha tocopherol. Our Vitamin E Natural Non-GMO, item # V6006, is the recommended option for antioxidant applications.
