Pure Tocotrienols

Pure Tocotrienols Extract | Natural Vitamin E Oil | B2B Supply from China

Pure Tocotrienols is a naturally sourced vitamin E ingredient produced through vegetable oil extraction, concentration, and purification from rice bran oil and palm oil. Available in two purity grades — 85% (rice bran oil source) and 92% (palm oil source) — it appears as a light yellow to brownish-yellow oily liquid, tested by HPLC. Certified under ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher, and Halal, this product is manufactured in China by Shaanxi Herbcosher Phychemistry Co., Ltd., with 20+ years of phytochemical expertise, OEM/ODM support, and an MOQ of just 1 kg.

What Are Tocotrienols?

Tocotrienols with tocopherols represent one of the two major subgroups of the natural vitamin E family. The structural difference is caused by their unsaturated side chains, which leads to a different biological behaviour than tocopherols.

Natural tocotrienols occur in certain vegetable oils, such as rice bran oil and palm oil. These raw materials undergo a regulated extraction, concentration and purification process to produce a high purity, fat-soluble oily liquid appropriate for a wide range of compositions.

There has been a dramatic increase in interest in tocotrienols in the past several years. Research suggests that they may have antioxidant activity 40 to 60 times stronger than tocopherols, making them an exciting element for antioxidant-focused product development.

Product Characteristics

It is an oily liquid, fat soluble and light yellow to brownish-yellow in colour. It is insoluble in water, but completely soluble in oils and oil-based carrier systems, hence is directly compatible with lipid phase compositions.

There are two grades available depending on your application and source preference. The grade generated from rice bran oil provides 85% total tocotrienols purity, whereas the grade derived from palm oil offers 92% purity. Both grades are HPLC analysed to confirm consistent active ingredient concentration.

The product is backed by a comprehensive portfolio of international certifications – ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher and Halal – which makes regulatory assessment easier when entering numerous worldwide markets.

Technical Specifications

Applications Across Industries

Tocotrienols serve as a functional vitamin E ingredient across several product categories. Their oil-soluble nature makes them easy to incorporate into lipid-based systems without compatibility concerns.

Dietary Supplements: Tocotrienols are widely used in softgel capsules and liquid supplement formulations as a natural vitamin E source. They offer an alternative or complement to standard tocopherol-based vitamin E products.

Functional Foods: Their antioxidant properties support lipid stability in food formulations. They are suitable for fat-containing food matrices where oxidative protection is needed.

Cosmetics and Skincare: The oil-soluble nature of Pure Tocotrienols makes them suitable for serums, creams, and other topical products. They integrate naturally into emollient and oil phases during manufacturing.

Nutraceuticals: Formulators developing cardiovascular wellness or general antioxidant products may consider tocotrienols as a differentiated vitamin E ingredient given their unique molecular structure.

Formulation Considerations

Tocotrienols are insoluble in water and are best incorporated into the oil phase of emulsified systems, or employed directly in anhydrous (oil-only) formulations. They are not suited for water based formulations unless properly emulsified or microencapsulated.

The oil liquid form will be compatible with conventional fill bases for softgel supplement makers. In functional food applications, uniformity can be achieved by blending with compatible carrier oils prior to addition to the bulk formulation.

Herbcosher's OEM/ODM team can custom-manufacture tailored forms for applications requiring specialised delivery formats, e.g., microencapsulated powder or liposomal preparation, within ≤15 working days.

Quality Control and Documentation

Each batch of tocotrienol is analysed by HPLC so that the purity level displayed is reliably validated for each shipment. Herbcosher's production facility is GMP compliant and backed by ISO9001 quality management certification.

Reports for third party testing can be made available on request to verify compliance. The company has cooperation with approved external testing organisations to assist in this process. Full documentation including COA, MSDS and specification sheets are available with your order or prior to.

Supply and Customization Advantages

Herbcosher has a warehouse of 4-5,000 m2 with enough supply of normal grade items so urgent or big volume orders may be fulfilled quickly. Bulk orders are normally processed within 15 working days.

This product is available for R&D sampling and pilot batch testing with a 1 kilogram MOQ and packaging choices up to 950 kg IBC drums for full commercial production runs. Depending on your logistical set-up, you can choose from several delivery terms including EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP and DDP.

FAQ

Q: How do tocotrienols differ from tocopherols?

A: They are both in the vitamin E group. The major structural difference is in their molecular side chains - tocopherols possess saturated side chains whereas tocotrienols have unsaturated side chains. Such structural difference is related to variances in antioxidant behaviour and biological activity.

Q: What purity grades are available?

A: There are two grades available, 85% total tocotrienols from rice bran oil and 92% total tocotrienols from palm oil. Both are confirmed by HPLC analysis.

Q: Is this product food grade and can it be used in the diet?

A: Yes, that's right. Tocotrienols have application in food and nutraceuticals. Check applicability in specific markets according to local regulatory restrictions.

Q: How do you formulate using tocotrienols?

A: They are water insoluble hence they should be introduced into the oil phase of formulations. For systems including water proper emulsification is essential.

Q: What are the certifications of this item?

A: The product is ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher and Halal certified, to facilitate regulatory acceptability in several main markets.

Q: May I request a sample before I place a big order?

A: Yes, it is. MOQ: 1 kg Sample scale is available for testing. For a sample or product documentation, email us at info@herbcosher.com.
