About Dr.Barrie Tan:

Dr. Primarily a scientist with a PhD in chemistry/biochemistry, Barrie Tan was previously an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (Chemistry, Food Sciences and Nutrition). For the past 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 three major natural sources: palm, rice and annatto. His first discoveries involved palm and rice, but due to their high tocopherol content they also lacked potency. Barrie continued his research and was soon rewarded when he found the best in class tocotrienol in the annatto plant! Barrie’s relationship with Annatto spans more than twenty years and multiple clinical trials in chronic diseases. He was rewarded again when he discovered geranylgeraniol, an endogenous nutrient important for promoting healthy aging.
