Vitamin E calcium succinate CAS 14638-18-7

Description

Vitamin E calcium succinate is a stable, powdered derivative of Vitamin E (specifically, d-alpha-tocopherol). It is the calcium salt of d-alpha-tocopheryl acid succinate. In this form, the natural Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) is esterified with succinic acid, and the remaining acidic proton of the succinate moiety is replaced by calcium. This modification enhances the stability of Vitamin E, particularly against oxidation, and provides it in a convenient powder form suitable for various applications. Like other forms of Vitamin E, it functions as a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. Its powdered nature and stability make it a preferred choice in certain dietary supplements, food fortification, and animal feed.
