What it is
Dl-alpha-tocopherol is a synthetic form of vitamin E, a fat-soluble nutrient. It is chemically manufactured, often from petroleum-based sources. It functions as an antioxidant.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add dl-alpha-tocopherol to foods to prevent fats and oils from becoming rancid, which helps extend shelf life. It is commonly found in processed foods containing fats and oils, such as baked goods, cereals, and snack foods.
Health notes
Dl-alpha-tocopherol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a nutrient and antioxidant. 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 on the specific health effects of synthetic vitamin E at typical dietary intake levels is generally considered safe, though some research explores potential differences between synthetic and natural forms.
Allergen info
Dl-alpha-tocopherol is not derived from any of the nine major FDA allergens. It does not contain gluten.
