tocopherol
2 interactions related to tocopherol
vitamin e + vitamin c
Vitamin C regenerates the active form of vitamin E by donating an electron to the tocopheroxyl radical that forms after vitamin E scavenges a lipid free radical. The pair extends antioxidant capacity at the lipid-water interface of cell membranes.

vitamin e + selenium
Vitamin E and selenium work as complementary antioxidants. Selenium is the cofactor for glutathione peroxidase, which clears lipid peroxides, sparing vitamin E. Vitamin E in turn prevents lipid peroxidation, reducing demand on the selenium-dependent enzyme.
