α-Tocopherol is the most bioactive of the naturally occurring forms of Vitamin E. Richest sources are green vegetables, grains, and oils, particularly palm, safflower and sunflower oils.
Use in insect cell culture applications as an antioxidant.

Application
1. Promote the absorption of VA and fat, improve the nutritional supply of the body, enhance the absorption and utilization of nutrients by muscle cells, and other biological characteristics.
2. It can effectively delay aging, and due to its promoting effect on nucleic acid metabolism, it can effectively eliminate oxygen free radicals in the body, maintain the vigorous function of various organs, play a role in delaying aging and prolonging life.
3. It can prevent and treat muscular atrophy, cardio cerebral Vascular disease, infertility and abortion caused by VE deficiency.
Product Description:
Vitamin E refers to a group of eight fat-soluble compounds that include both tocopherols and tocotrienols.
[1] Of the many different forms of vitamin E, γ-tocopherol is the most common in the North American diet.
[2] γ-Tocopherol can be found in corn oil, soybean oil, margarine, and dressings.
[3] In the North American diet, α-tocopherol, the most biologically active form of vitamin E, is the second-most common form of vitamin E. This variant can be found most abundantly in wheat germ oil, sunflower, and safflower oils.
[4] As a fat-soluble antioxidant, it stops the production of reactive oxygen species formed when fat undergoes oxidation.
Function:
1. As an antioxidant, vitamin E acts as a peroxyl radical scavenger, preventing the propagation of free radicals in tissues, by reacting with them to form a tocopheryl radical, which will then be reduced by a hydrogen donor (such as vitamin C) and thus return to its reduced state.
2. As an enzymatic activity regulator, for instance, protein kinase C (PKC), which plays a role in smooth muscle growth, can be inhibited by α-tocopherol.
3. Vitamin E also has an effect on gene expression. Macrophages rich in cholesterol are found in the atherogenetic tissue.
4. Vitamin E also plays a role in neurological functions,and inhibition of platelet aggregation
5. Vitamin E also protects lipids and prevents the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
