What are the benefits of vitamin E tocopherol for us?
What is Tocopherol?
Natural vitamin E tocopherol, presents a light yellow mucus, basically odorless. The natural tocopherol is D-tocopherol (dextrorotary), which has 8 isomers such as α, β, ϒ, and δ, among which α-tocopherol has the strongest activity. Tocopherol is a powerful antioxidant and nutritional enhancer, easily soluble in organic solvents such as fat and ethanol, but hardly soluble in water. It is mainly used to maintain and promote reproductive function, anti-aging, improve lipid metabolism, prevent arteriosclerosis, reduce blood fat and prevent habitual abortion, etc. It is widely used in whole milk powder, butter, meat products, aquatic products, dehydrated vegetables, juice drinks, frozen foods and convenience foods in daily life.
What are the benefits of Vitamin Tocopherol?
Vitamin E (Vitamin E) is a fat-soluble vitamin and a major antioxidant with the following main functions:
1. Prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Alpha tocopherol is an essential ingredient for the human body. It can effectively reduce plasma cholesterol levels, inhibit smooth muscle proliferation, inhibit platelet aggregation, enhance the release of prostacyclin, regulate blood circulation, and effectively prevent arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases;
2. Anti-tumor
Vitamin E tocopherol can regulate immune cells, induce tumor cell apoptosis, inhibit tumor cell proliferation, and achieve anti-tumor effects;
3. Prevention and treatment of diabetes
Large doses of vitamin E can reduce cell lipid peroxidation, scavenge free radicals, relieve metabolic disorders, improve platelet aggregation, regulate insulin levels, prevent diabetes and other chronic diseases;
4. Delay Alzheimer's disease and nervous central disorder;
5. Alpha tocopherol vitamin E can delay skin aging;
6. Tocopherol can also beautify the skin, repair scars, and accelerate wound healing;
7. Natural tocopherol can protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation and reduce skin bacterial pollution;
8. Vitamin e mixed tocopherols is beneficial to the treatment of menopausal syndrome, and can also be used as an adjuvant treatment for hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and muscular dystrophy.
What are the benefits of tocopherols on the skin?
1. Antioxidant
Natural vitamin E tocopherol can enter the biofilm of unsaturated fatty acids in the body, maintain the stability of the biofilm, effectively terminate the chain reaction of free radical peroxidation, reduce the damage of skin cells, and effectively remove free radicals;
2. Anti-aging skin
Ultraviolet radiation will cause skin cells to produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which will destroy the balance of oxidation and antioxidant systems in the body. Vitamin E can effectively restore the proliferation activity of UVA cells, reduce the level of intracellular ROS after UVA radiation, and slow down the growth rate of cells. The degradation speed of inner collagen Col I and Col III can effectively resist skin aging;
3. Inhibit skin tyrosinase activity
Vitamin E-tocopherol has a strong inhibitory effect on tyrosinase, and the inhibition rate can reach 48.98%.
What are the fields of application of tocopherol?
Natural vitamin E tocopherol can be used as an antioxidant, nutritional enhancer, emulsifier and moisturizer, etc., and is widely used in pharmaceuticals, skin care products, sunscreen products, health products, dehydrated vegetables, infant food and other fields. In the field of medicine, tocopherol has the effect of promoting hormone powder, treating male infertility and preventing cardiovascular diseases, etc.; in the field of food, tocopherol is used as an antioxidant and food additive; in the field of cosmetics, tocopherol is used for Beauty and skin care, anti-aging use.
What are the derivatives of vitamin E?
Vitamin E derivatives mainly include tocopheryl succinate, tocopheryl acetate, tocopheryl nicotinate, tocopheryl palmitate, tocopheryl linoleate, tocopheryl phosphate, and tocopheryl retinoate. Studies have shown that vitamin E derivatives are precursors of vitamin E, which can exert the health effects of vitamin E, and specifically have the following functions and properties:
1. Tocopheryl acetate
Tocopherol acetate is often used as an antioxidant in cosmetics. It is an oil-soluble natural substance and is a nutritional moisturizer for the skin. It maintains the connective tissue of the skin, keeps the skin hydrated, promotes skin wound healing, prevents skin inflammation and prevents rough skin. and chapped, improve skin spots;
2. Tocopheryl succinate
Tocopheryl succinate has certain carboxyl group hydrophilicity, which improves the surface activity of TOS and achieves the effect of moisturizing;
3. Tocopheryl nicotinate
Tocopheryl nicotinate has a certain effect of promoting metabolism, promoting the expansion of blood vessels, improving dull skin, and is an important whitening substance;
4. Tocopheryl palmitate is a non-ionic surfactant-ester type with good antioxidant, emulsifying and dispersing abilities;
5. Tocopheryl linoleate
Tocopheryl linoleate has a strong ability to scavenge free radicals, which can prevent aging, protect the skin from free radical damage, help skin cells regenerate, and moisturize the skin;
6. Tocopheryl Phosphate
Tocopheryl phosphate has anti-oxidation effect, eliminates free radicals, and delays skin aging;
7. Tocopherol glucoside
Tocopherol glucoside is a water-soluble solid that facilitates intestinal absorption and maintains intestinal health.
