What it is

D-alpha-tocopherol acetate is a synthetic form of vitamin E, a fat-soluble nutrient. It is made by chemically modifying alpha-tocopherol, which is naturally found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add D-alpha-tocopherol acetate to foods as a source of vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. It is often found in fortified foods such as beverages, snack bars, and candies to enhance their nutritional value.

Health notes

In the U.S., D-alpha-tocopherol acetate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. Vitamin E plays a role in immune function and cell protection. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vitamin E and its derivatives. Evidence generally supports vitamin E's role as an antioxidant at typical dietary intakes.
