Also known as tocopherols

Tocopherols (; TCP) are a class of organic compounds comprising 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 named tocopherol, from Greek and , that is 'to carry a pregnancy', with the ending -ol signifying its status as a chemical alcohol.
