Request SDS →D-Alpha tocopheryl acid succinate (CAS 4345-03-3) is the acid-succinate ester of natural-source vitamin E. It is used as an antioxidant and as a vitamin E source in dietary supplement, food, and cosmetic formulations, where its solid form suits dry blending.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is D-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate?
D-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate (CAS 4345-03-3, C33H54O5) is the acid-succinate ester of natural-source vitamin E. It is a crystalline solid used as an antioxidant and as a vitamin E source in dietary-supplement, food, and cosmetic formulations, where its solid form suits dry blending.
Is D-alpha tocopheryl succinate natural or synthetic?
It is derived from natural-source (D / RRR) alpha-tocopherol, which is then esterified with succinic acid to form the acid-succinate ester. The vitamin E base is natural-source; the succinate ester is the chemically modified, more stable solid form used for dry blending.
What is the difference between tocopheryl succinate and tocopheryl acetate?
Both are stable esters of vitamin E, but tocopheryl acetate is the acetate ester (often an oil or carrier-adsorbed powder) while tocopheryl acid succinate is the succinate ester and a crystalline solid. The crystalline succinate is particularly suited to tablet and powder systems that require a free-flowing dry vitamin E source.
What grade and packaging does RawSource supply D-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate in?
RawSource supplies it as a crystalline solid for supplement, food, and cosmetic use, classified under HS code 2936.28 (vitamin E and its derivatives). Assay, packaging, and lot size are confirmed per order, with a CoA and SDS provided. Request a bulk quote with your target spec.
What is the cost of bulk D-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate?
Bulk pricing varies by assay/grade, packaging, order volume, and destination and is quoted per order rather than published. Submit a bulk RFQ with your quantity and spec and RawSource will return current pricing.
