Frequently Asked Questions
What is D-alpha-tocopherol (DA tocopherol)?
D-alpha-tocopherol (RRR-alpha-tocopherol, natural vitamin E, CAS 59-02-9, C29H50O2) is the natural-source form of vitamin E. In powder form it is typically adsorbed on a carrier, since the pure substance is an oil. It is used as an antioxidant, a vitamin E nutrient ingredient, a cosmetic antioxidant, and an animal-feed additive.
What is the difference between D-alpha-tocopherol and the powder form?
D-alpha-tocopherol itself is an oil; the powder grade is the same active adsorbed onto a carrier to create a free-flowing solid suited to dry blending in tablets, capsules, and powders. The chemistry of the vitamin E active is identical, the powder format simply changes handling and dispersibility.
What is D-alpha-tocopherol powder used for?
It is used as an antioxidant for oxidation control in oils, fats, and formulated products; as a vitamin E active ingredient in supplement tablets, capsules, and powders; as a vitamin E source in animal-feed premixes; and as a cosmetic antioxidant in skin-care formulations.
What grade and packaging does RawSource supply D-alpha-tocopherol powder in?
RawSource supplies natural-source vitamin E powder for supplement, food, feed, and cosmetic use, classified under HS code 2936.28 (vitamin E and its derivatives).

What is the cost of bulk D-alpha-tocopherol powder?
