Dr. Richard Passwater, PhD. interviews Dr. Barry Tan, PhD. about Tocotrienols -- Health Benefits Beyond Vitamin E Activity: Solving the Tocotrienol Riddle

"Certain members of the vitamin E family of nutrients called “tocotrienols” are emerging as having additional health benefits over “conventional” vitamin E family members, the tocopherols.

Both tocotrienols and tocopherols are antioxidants, but only tocotrienols have been shown to reduce cholesterol, inhibit certain cancers and manage diabetes.

It is very exciting to know that some nutrients can actually reverse atherosclerosis by removing so-called “cholesterol deposits.” There has been some confusion about the various forms of vitamin E, so I have asked Dr. Barrie Tan to bring us up-to-date."
