Quality Control

Our (±)-α-Tocopherol Nicotinate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, to ensure it meets high-grade specifications suitable for cosmetic and nutraceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, keeping the container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended to maintain stability and potency.
