    • USP Alpha Tocopherol RS USP Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate RS USP Alpha Tocopheryl Acid Succinate RS 1 In terms of former USP Units, 1 mg of all-rac-alpha tocopherol = 1.1 former USP Vitamin E Units; 1 mg of all-rac-alpha tocopheryl acetate = 1 former USP Vitamin E unit; 1 mg of all-rac-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate = 0.89 former USP Vitamin E Units; 1 mg of RRR-alpha tocopherol = 1.49 former USP Vitamin E Units; 1 mg of RRR-alpha tocopheryl acetate = 1.36 former USP Vitamin E Units; and 1 mg of RRR-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate = 1.21 former USP Vitamin E Units
    • In terms of RRR-alpha tocopherol equivalents, 1 mg of RRR-alpha tocopheryl acetate = 0.91; 1 mg of RRR-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate = 0.81; 1 mg of all-rac-alpha tocopherol = 0.74; 1 mg of all-rac-alpha tocopheryl acetate = 0.67; and 1 mg of all-rac-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate = 0.60
    • Note that 1 mg of Institute of Medicine (IOM) alpha tocopherol equivalent = 1 mg of 2 R- alpha tocopherol = 1 mg of RRR-alpha tocopherol = 2 mg of all-rac-alpha tocopherol.

    Labelling Information

    Label Vitamin E to indicate the chemical form and to indicate whether it is the RRR or the all-rac form. The Vitamin E activity may be expressed in mg/g, or, in terms of the equivalent amount of RRR-alpha tocopherol, in mg/g, based on the following relationship between the former USP Units (equal to the former International Units) and mass.1
