Target intelligence / Profile preview
Antioxidant effect via tocopherol (vitamin E) (Vitamin E)
- Target
- Vitamin E
- Molecular classification
- Antioxidant, Fat-soluble vitamin
01
Overview
Tocopherols, collectively known as vitamin E, are a group of fat-soluble compounds that function primarily as antioxidants. The most biologically active form in humans is alpha-tocopherol. Vitamin E protects cell membranes from oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals and preventing lipid peroxidation.
