Natural Tocopherols - Feed Ingredient

Natural tocopherols are a group of fat-soluble compounds that make up vitamin E, with antioxidant properties that protect cell membranes and dietary fats from oxidative damage. The most biologically active form is d-alpha-tocopherol, though other forms such as beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherols are also present in natural mixtures.

These compounds are typically extracted from vegetable oils, especially soybean and sunflower oil, and used in animal feeds both as nutritional antioxidants and as natural preservatives to stabilize fats and prevent rancidity.
