Tocopherol(Cat No.:M046638), commonly known as vitamin E, is a group of fat-soluble compounds consisting of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Alpha-tocopherol is the most active form and is a major antioxidant, protecting cellular structures against damage from free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Tocopherols are naturally found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables. They play a critical role in immune function, skin health, and cell signaling. Due to their antioxidant properties, tocopherols are widely used in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and food preservation to extend shelf life and maintain nutritional value.
