Tocofersolan (INN; also known as tocophersolan, tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate, or TPGS) is a synthetic water-soluble version of vitamin E. Natural forms of vitamin E are fat soluble, but not water-soluble. Tocofersolan is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative of α-tocopherol succinate. The addition of PEG enables water solubility.
