Tocopherol
Tocopherols (TCP) are a class of organic chemical compounds (more precisely, various methylated phenols), many of which have vitamin E activity. Because the vitamin activity was first identified in 1936 from a dietary fertility factor in rats, it was given the name ""tocopherol"" from the Greek words ""τόκος"" [tókos, birth], and ""φέρειν"", [phérein, to bear or carry] meaning in sum ""to carry a pregnancy,"" with the ending ""-ol"" signifying its status as a chemical alcohol.α-Tocopherol is the main source found in supplements and in the European diet, where the main dietary sources are olive and sunflower oils, while γ-tocopherol is the most common form in the American diet due to a higher intake of soybean and corn oil.Tocotrienols, which are related compounds, also have vitamin E activity. All of these various derivatives with vitamin activity may correctly be referred to as ""vitamin E"". Tocopherols and tocotrienols are fat-soluble antioxidants but also seem to have many other functions in the body.
