Properties Description: greenish yellow or light yellow viscous liquid, basically odorless, relative density 0.947 ~ 0.955. Insoluble in water, but soluble in ethanol, gasoline, ethyl ester and vegetable oil.

The light darkens gradually.

Uses: For the prevention of abortion caused by vitamin E deficiency, habitual abortion and threatened abortion, and also for the treatment of infertility and infant nutritional giant cell anemia. Vitamin E has strong reducibility, has the role of anti-oxidation in the process of human metabolism to prevent aging, and can maintain the normal function of reproductive organs.

Usage of 100 ~ 180mg/kg; The amount of consumption in fortified infant food is 40-70ug /kg, and the maximum amount of consumption in fortified tocopherol drinks is 20-40mg /L; The amount used in fortified milk drinks is 10 to 20ug/kg. Vitamin E is widely distributed in animal and vegetable oils, egg yolks, milk, fruits, lettuce leaves and other foods, wheat germ oil, corn oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil is also rich in vitamin E.
