The discovery of vitamin E originated in 1922. While studying the reproductive process, Evans and Bishops discovered that a fat-soluble dietary factor was essential for normal breeding of rats and published their first article in Science. This dietary factor was later named "vitamin E".
Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, or VE for short, is the general name for tocopherol, tocotrienol and related biologically active derivatives with d-α-tocopherol. There are eight fat-soluble forms of vitamin E, including α-, β-, γ-, δ-tocopherol and α-, β-, γ-, δ-tocotrienol. Among them, d-α-tocopherol has extremely high biological activity. Vitamin E, as one of the essential and major antioxidants for humans and animals, has a wide range of effects. It can be used to maintain the normal functions of the body, improve the body's fertility, immunity, etc., and plays an important role in the fields of health food, general food, cosmetics, and feed.

Vitamin E participates in the normal metabolism of the human body, but it cannot be synthesized by itself in the human body and needs to be obtained through food or supplements.
How much do you know about the uses of vitamin E?
1. Application in food supplement - focusing on body immunity
Vitamin E is mainly used in health foods from α-tocopherol and its derivatives, such as α-tocopherol acetate, α-tocopherol succinate, etc. Vitamin E is an intracellular antioxidant that can inhibit the production of toxic lipid peroxides and stabilize unsaturated fatty acids. It can improve the immune response of stimulating coenzyme Q and affect the metabolism of nucleic acids and polyenoic acids. It can regulate the pituitary-midbrain system, promote the production of glandular hormones, and prevent cell physiological aging.
Vitamin E can also promote the growth of capillaries and has a good affinity for microvessels. It helps reduce capillary permeability, directly acts on the blood vessel wall, increases blood volume in a long-lasting and stable manner, improves skin microcirculation, and provides a fully nutritious environment for cells. In addition, its research on arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, thrombosis, habitual abortion, female infertility, menstrual disorders, endocrine dysfunction, muscle atrophy, anemia, encephalomalacia, etc. is also being promoted.

2. Application in food - oil "does not deteriorate"
Vitamin E is mainly used as an antioxidant and nutritional fortifier in fatty foods in ordinary foods to maintain a stable and lasting fresh flavor of processed foods. Related applications are mainly mixed tocopherols, which are widely used in edible oils, dairy products, baked goods, baby food, beverages and other foods. As an antioxidant in edible oils and fats, tocopherol has many advantages, such as high boiling point and heat stability, so it is very suitable for foods that need to be heated and preserved, such as instant noodles, margarine, milk powder, etc.

3. Application in the cosmetics - "no longer afraid" of skin aging
Vitamin E is commonly used in the cosmetics industry as tocopheryl acetate - a derivative of vitamin E. It is mainly used to focus on skin aging, aiming to enhance elasticity and restore youthful vitality. Vitamin E is one of the important antioxidant components in the body. It can prevent the accumulation of free radicals, reduce lipid peroxidation, inhibit platelet aggregation, and enhance T cell immunity.
The antioxidant mechanism of vitamin E is as follows: the combination of vitamin E and lipid peroxides can terminate the chain reaction of lipid peroxidation, prevent the over-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the body, protect cell organelles and reduce the production of lipofuscin in the body , delaying the aging process of the human body. Vitamin E, which has been oxidized to the quinone form, is reduced to the original phenolic form by exchanging free radicals with reducing agents such as vitamin C.
Clinically, topical vitamin E can indeed reduce wrinkles and sun spots caused by photoaging. The reversal of photoaging has also been confirmed histologically: Microscopic examination shows that vitamin E can reduce the physiological phenomena of epidermal hypertrophy, thickening of the stratum corneum, and increase in "sunburned cells" caused by ultraviolet rays. Further electron microscopy analysis confirmed that vitamin E can resist damage to collagen and elastin fibers and has a repairing effect on UV-induced damage to basement membrane anchoring fibers.

4. Application in feed - support animal growth
In the feed industry, a commonly used product for vitamin E is mixed tocopherol micro-encapsulated powder 30%, which mainly focuses on immunity, improving meat quality, and increasing livestock and poultry reproduction or egg production rates. Adding vitamin E to the diet can improve the antioxidant capacity of animals, resist stress, and thus promote growth.
