Dr. Barrie Tan Dr. Barrie Tan is a Ph.D. in chemistry and biochemistry. Dr. Tan is considered one of the world’s foremost experts on Vitamin E. Vitamin E is not regarded as so sexy or trendy. But it has 8 family members, 4 that are tocopherols and 4 that are tocotrienols. And boy, has Dr. Tan’s many decades of research unveiled the healing aspect of tocotrienols. And the healing aspect of an Amazon plant, the annatto plant, that contains 100% tocotrienols. The Beginning The story all starts with the Amazonian annatto plant (Bixa Orellana) that was discovered by Francesco de Orellana (in the 1550s) and continues in the 1700s when the British called it the ‘lipstick plant’ to today where Estee Lauder uses it in their lip products. The red oil from the annatto seed is used as a natural coloring in cheeses like cheddar, and is found in other foods like ice cream, meats, crackers, salad dressing, tortilla chips, even mac and cheese but.. it even helps fight cancer. One of the successful human trials that Dr. Tan has done is on ovarian cancer. In this show you will learn the dosage and the delivery mode of annatto-E. And why perhaps you might even consider it as an addition to your daily nutraceuticals. Check it out! I am adding this to my dailies!
