Question

what are mixed tocopherols made from?

Answer 1

Vitamin E .

Answer 2

"Mixed tocopherols" in the US contain at least 20% w/w other natural R, R,R- tocopherols, i.e. R, R,R-alpha-tocopherol content plus at least 25% R, R,R-beta-, R, R,R-gamma-, R, R,R-delta-tocopherols.



Some brands may contain 200% w/w or more of the other tocopherols and measurable tocotrienols. Some mixed tocopherols with higher gamma-tocopherol content are marketed as "High Gamma-Tocopherol." The label should report each component in milligrams, except R, R,R-alpha-tocopherol may still be reported in IU. Mixed tocopherols can also be found in other nutritional supplements.

Answer 3

Tocopherols (or TCP) are a class of chemical compounds of which many have vitamin E activity.

Answer 4

I don t think any of your remarks answer the question? I missed some of the Steve Harvey show the day they had someone there talking about additives to products. BHT was mentioned & some of the additives were made from animal feces!! Steve asked "Who did the taste test?"

The answers above only say a chemical compound. What chemicals? I noticed they are added to cereals & I hesitate to buy them.

Answer 5

"Any of a group of closely related, fat-soluble alcohols that behave similarly to vitamin E and are present in milk, lettuce, and wheat germ oil and certain other vegetable oils."
