Barrie Tan, PhD: Tocotrienols: Vitamin E Beyond Tocopherols

Presented at IAOMT's 2013 Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV.

Dr. Tan earned his doctorate in chemistry from the University of Otago, New Zealand in 1979. He was a professor of chemistry and food science/nutrition from 1982-1992 at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His research expertise includes lipid-soluble nutrients (carotenoids, E vitamers, CoQ10, and omega-3s). He was the first to introduce tocotrienol’s benefits to the nutrition industry, and developed the first ever tocopherol-free tocotrienol product derived from annatto. Today, his research focuses on lipid-soluble nutrients that impact chronic conditions. Dr. Tan is the senior editor of Tocotrienols: Vitamin E Beyond Tocopherols (2013), and continues to collaborate with numerous universities worldwide to further tocotrienol research.
