Vitamin E and preservation systems

NOVA-E 405 Natural Vitamin E

Natural E (RRR-a-tocopherol) has a higher potency compared to synthetic tocopherol and delivers similar stability. Used to improve animal metabolism, it is derived from vegetable oils and blended with a high-quality carrier. It’s a USA-made alternative that does not require a label change.

Preservation Systems

A clean label goes beyond nutrition and functional ingredients. It also includes preservation ingredients. Our natural extracts, including rosemary and green tea—along with natural tocopherols—can extend shelf life by protecting against the color, flavor, and safety implications caused by oxidation.
