D001205	Ascorbic Acid	A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.

D014024	Tissues	Collections of differentiated CELLS, such as EPITHELIUM; CONNECTIVE TISSUE; MUSCLES; and NERVE TISSUE. Tissues are cooperatively arranged to form organs with specialized functions such as RESPIRATION; DIGESTION; REPRODUCTION; MOVEMENT; and others.	Tissue
D014810	Vitamin E	A generic descriptor for all TOCOPHEROLS and TOCOTRIENOLS that exhibit ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of ISOPRENOIDS.
D014815	Vitamins	Organic substances that are required in small amounts for maintenance and growth, but which cannot be manufactured by the human body.	Vitamin
D024502	alpha-Tocopherol	A natural tocopherol and one of the most potent antioxidant tocopherols. It exhibits antioxidant activity by virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus. It has four methyl groups on the 6-chromanol nucleus. The natural d form of alpha-tocopherol is more active than its synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol racemic mixture.	3,4-Dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol,R,R,R-alpha-Tocopherol,Tocopherol Acetate,Tocopherol Succinate,Tocopheryl Acetate,Vitamin E Succinate,alpha-Tocopherol Acetate,alpha-Tocopherol Hemisuccinate,alpha-Tocopherol Succinate,alpha-Tocopheryl Calcium Succinate,d-alpha Tocopherol,d-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate,Acetate, Tocopherol,Tocopherol, d-alpha,alpha Tocopherol,alpha Tocopherol Acetate,alpha Tocopherol Hemisuccinate,alpha Tocopherol Succinate,alpha Tocopheryl Calcium Succinate,d alpha Tocopherol,d alpha Tocopheryl Acetate
