Low hazard ingredient
100% data gaps and a lack of available information and studies
Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is often used in combination with other antioxidants, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, to enhance its effectiveness. It is important to note that tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is unstable in light and air, so it is essential to store products containing this ingredient in a cool, dark place. Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is also known as Tetrahydrocurcuminoids or Curcumin.
