Vitamin E is a group of fat-soluble compounds, including tocopherols and tocotrienols, renowned for their potent antioxidant properties. The most biologically active form is α-tocopherol, which protects cell membranes from oxidative damage and supports immune function, skin health, and cardiovascular wellness. Naturally found in plant oils (e.g., wheat germ oil, sunflower oil), nuts, seeds, and leafy greens, vitamin E is also synthesized for commercial use. It is available in multiple forms:
Natural (d-α-tocopherol): Extracted from plant sources, higher bioavailability.
Synthetic (dl-α-tocopherol): Lab-produced, cost-effective.
Antioxidant Power: Neutralizes free radicals, reducing oxidative stress linked to aging and chronic diseases.
Skin Protection: Enhances moisture retention, UV resistance, and wound healing.
Immune Support: Modulates immune cell activity and inflammation responses.
Stability: Resists heat but degrades under UV light; esters (e.g., tocopheryl acetate) improve stability in formulations.
