Description

Tocotrienol CAS NO 6829-55-6 is a potent member of the vitamin E family, distinguished by its unsaturated isoprenoid side chain. This structural feature grants it superior antioxidant and neuroprotective properties compared to its tocopherol counterparts. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and functional food industries seeking advanced health and wellness formulations.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Key ingredient in capsules, softgels, and tablets targeting cardiovascular health, neuroprotection, and anti-aging due to its potent antioxidant and cholesterol-lowering activities.
• Cosmeceutical & Skincare: Incorporated into anti-aging serums, creams, and lotions for its ability to protect skin from oxidative stress, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve skin barrier function.
• Functional Foods & Beverages: Used as a fortifying agent in health drinks, edible oils, and cereal products to enhance nutritional value and shelf-life stability.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in preclinical and clinical studies investigating cancer chemoprevention and metabolic syndrome.
• Animal Nutrition: Added to premium feed for poultry and livestock to improve immune function, meat quality, and reproductive health.
