Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What's the difference between Natural and Synthetic Vitamin E?
Natural Vitamin E (d-isomer, RRR-configuration) is derived from vegetable oils; Synthetic Vitamin E (dl-isomer, all-rac) is chemically synthesized. Natural form has higher bioavailability (~2x) per USP / clinical studies.
Q2: What's the difference between Mixed Tocopherols and d-α-Tocopherol?
Mixed Tocopherols contain all four isomers (α, β, γ, δ) with γ-tocopherol being the most abundant in natural sources. d-α-Tocopherol is the single most bioavailable isomer. Mixed is preferred for full-spectrum antioxidant positioning.
Q3: Can Mixed Tocopherols be combined with other ingredients?
Mixed Tocopherols are commonly combined with Vitamin C, Selenium, and CoQ10 in antioxidant formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.
Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?
Natural Mixed Tocopherols (E306) are permitted as food additives / supplement ingredients in the EU. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Q5: How is Total Tocopherols content measured?
Total Tocopherols content is quantified via HPLC with fluorescence detection per USP / AOCS methods.
Q6: What's the typical MOQ?
Standard MOQ is 25 kg. Smaller quantities (5-10 kg) are available for evaluation.
Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?
Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific isomer ratio, oil/powder form, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.
Q8: What documentation is available?
Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
