Adding a certain amount of vitamin E to shampoo and conditioner can prevent damage to hair caused by polluted air, strong light and ultraviolet rays, moisturize hair, keep hair black and shiny, and prevent amine compounds from forming carcinogens.
Feed industry
Vitamin E is commonly used in the feed industry is mixed tocopherol microcapsule powder 30%, which is mainly used to enhance immunity, improve meat quality, increase livestock and poultry reproduction or egg production rate. Vitamin E supplementation in the diet can improve the antioxidant capacity of the animal, resist stress, and thus promote growth.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, and the antioxidant function of vitamin E is mainly related to hydroxyl groups, because it can capture free radicals and block the chain reaction of free radicals, thereby preventing lipid peroxidation and protecting the integrity of tissue structure. Vitamin E is also an important component of the cell membrane, mainly distributed on the lipids of the cell membrane, which can remove free radicals on the cell membrane and prevent the cell membrane from being oxidized. Therefore, vitamin E is the body’s first line of defense against oxidation. And studies have found that vitamin E can protect docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from oxidation, thereby protecting the biological activity of DHA.
