Description

Dl-α-Tocopherol Hydrogen Succinate CAS NO 17407-37-3 is a stable, esterified form of vitamin E, specifically the succinate ester of synthetic α-tocopherol. This compound is valued for its enhanced oxidative stability and utility as a source of vitamin E activity in applications where the free alcohol form is unsuitable. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and premium cosmetic industries seeking a reliable, standardized source of vitamin E for solid dosage forms and topical preparations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in solid oral dosage forms like tablets and capsules, providing antioxidant and nutritional benefits.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key component in multivitamin, antioxidant, and general wellness supplements due to its role as a vital nutrient.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into anti-aging creams, serums, and lotions for its skin-conditioning and antioxidant properties to protect against environmental stressors.
• Animal Nutrition (Premixes): Employed in vitamin premixes for livestock, poultry, and pet food to ensure adequate vitamin E intake, supporting immune function and product quality.
• Food Fortification (where approved): Used to fortify specific food products, contributing to shelf-life extension and nutritional enhancement.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in biochemical, nutritional, and pharmaceutical research studies.
