Here Dr Tan introduces the forms of vitamin E, how they are different and why this matters. He also discusses why a fat based anti-oxidant is required and where alpha tocotrienol is found in nature.

Dr. Barrie Tan was formerly an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst (Chemistry, Food Science & Nutrition). His mission at American River Nutrition is to deliver the highest quality nutritional products based on sound scientific research. Today, his research focuses on lipid-soluble nutrients that have the potential to slow chronic conditions.

For the last 35 years, Barrie has immersed himself in the world of Vitamin E and is considered one of the world’s foremost experts, credited with commercializing tocotrienol in 3 major natural sources – palm, rice and annatto. His first discoveries were in palm & rice, but due to their high levels of tocopherol, they also lacked potency. Barrie continued his research and was soon rewarded when he found the best-in-class tocotrienol in the annatto plant!
