Today we are talking all things Vitamin E – or tocotrienols to be exact – and the Amazonia super plant Annatto to be even more specific.

Our feautured guest today is considered the world’s foremost expert on Vitamin E. Dr Barrie Tan is credited with discovering tocotrienol in three major natural sources: Palm, Rice and Annatto.
