STABILISED VITAMIN E
A potent fat-soluble antioxidant delivering stabilised alpha-tocopherol for cellular protection, immune competence, reproductive performance, and stress resilience across all aquatic species.
Why Professionals Choose Stabilised Vitamin E
Stabilised Alpha-Tocopherol Acetate
The acetate ester form resists oxidation during feed manufacturing, storage, and in the gut before absorption — ensuring consistent potency from factory to fish.
Cellular Membrane Protection
As the body's primary lipid-soluble antioxidant, vitamin E integrates into cell membranes, neutralising free radicals and preventing lipid peroxidation that damages tissues.
Beyond Basic Nutrition
Vitamin E functions extend far beyond antioxidant activity — it modulates immune gene expression, reproductive hormone synthesis, and stress response pathways at the molecular level.
Engineered for Performance
Stabilised Vitamin E delivers measurable benefits across immune function, reproduction, stress tolerance, and feed quality — backed by decades of aquaculture research.
Immune System Enhancement
Supports antibody production, phagocytic activity, and complement system function, improving disease resistance against bacterial and viral pathogens.
Reproductive Performance
Critical for gonadal development, egg quality, fertilisation rates, and larval survival. Adequate vitamin E improves fecundity across finfish and crustacean species.
Stress Tolerance
Protects against oxidative stress from handling, transport, temperature fluctuations, and high stocking densities, reducing mortality during critical periods.
Flesh Quality Preservation
Delays post-mortem lipid oxidation in fillets, extending shelf life and maintaining sensory quality — important for marketable fish.
Selenium Synergy
Works in concert with selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase to create a comprehensive antioxidant defence network within cells.
Feed Stability
The stabilised form survives extrusion, pelleting, and long-term storage without significant potency loss, ensuring delivered nutrition matches formulated levels.
Quick Use Guide
Follow these steps to incorporate Stabilised Vitamin E into your feed formulation for optimal potency and distribution.
Calculate Requirement
Typical supplementation rates: 100–500 mg/kg feed for grow-out; 500–1000 mg/kg for broodstock and stress conditions.
Pre-Mix with Oil
Disperse in a small amount of dietary oil before blending with dry ingredients to ensure even distribution throughout the feed matrix.
Add During Mixing
Incorporate during the pre-mix stage before pelleting or extrusion to maximise retention and minimise processing losses.
Store Correctly
Keep sealed in a cool, dark environment. Minimise exposure to oxygen and light to preserve potency throughout the shelf life.
Uses for Aquarium & Aquaculture
Stabilised Vitamin E serves critical roles across the full spectrum of aquatic animal husbandry — from broodstock conditioning to grow-out feeds and ornamental species nutrition.
Broodstock conditioning diets — improves egg quality and larval viability for enhanced hatch rates and fry survival.
Grow-out feeds — supports immune function and growth performance during the critical production phase.
Stress mitigation — use before and after transport, grading, or handling events to reduce oxidative mortality.
Ornamental fish foods — enhances colour vibrancy and disease resistance in display and hobby species.
Larval and fry feeds — supports developmental antioxidant protection during the most vulnerable life stages.
Shrimp maturation diets — improves spawning frequency and nauplii quality in penaeid and freshwater prawn species.
Coldwater species — protects membrane fluidity in fish raised at low temperatures where lipid peroxidation risk increases.
