Dr. Barrie Tan is extremely excited about vitamin E and is actually hailed as a trailblazer and the world’s leading expert on vitamin E. A scientist first and foremost, Dr. Barrie earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry/Biochemistry from the University of Otago, New Zealand and spent several years as a professor at UMass. Dr. Barrie has committed himself to researching and developing phytonutrients that reduce and slow chronic disorders.
Dr. Barrie is credited with discovering a form of vitamin E called tocotrienol from three major sources – Palm, Rice and Annatto. Editor of two prestigious books on tocotrienol and the International Tocotrienol Conference founder. He is currently the President of American River Nutrition and his mission is simple — improve the everyday health of people’s lives.
In our conversation, we learn what vitamin E is, why we need it and if we need to supplement with it. We also get into what an antioxidant really is and what it really does in the body (hint: it is important). Dr. Barrie also explains where vitamin E is found, how Pharma companies don’t give plants their due credit, and what changes in your body when you get enough vitamin E. Other important aspects we cover are how vitamin E affects diabetes, triglycerides and fatty liver disease.
