Vitamin E for Nutraceuticals,Health Foods & BeveragesThe powerful benefits of Vitamin E lead to healthierbodies from head to toe. It’s difficult if not impossibleto get high levels of Vitamin E from a typical diet so avariety of pharmaceutical products for medicalpurposes and general OTC drugs have beendeveloped. These include vitamin and multivitamintablets, capsules and health drinks.Natural (d-) & Synthetic (dl-) forms can be used innutraceutical blends and food processing to preventoxidation and to improve nutritional value. The deltaform has the strongest antioxidant activity, the d-deltarich tocopherols concentrate contains 90% min deltaand so has the most powerful effect. It is completelysafe as a fat-soluble vitamin. It does not accumulatein the body making it difficult to overdose. The actualgrade of Vitamin E or ester depends on the end-use;the Acetate is an oil so tends to be used in liquidpreparations whereas the Succinate, as a solid, canbe used in tablets.Vitamin E is an important health ingredient and awater soluble D-mixed tocopherols concentrate hasbeen specially developed for use in a wide range ofdrinks.Co-Enzyme Q10This vitamin-like nutrient produces AdenosineTriphosphate (ATP) needed for energy and is also apowerful antioxidant. It has significant benefits whenused in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, aswell as food supplements.
