- Today on the podcast, we are chatting with the discoverer of annatto tocotrienols, Dr Barrie Tan.
In today's episode, Dr Tan takes us on a deep dive into the science of annatto tocotrienols, from his discovery of annatto tocotrienols many years ago to the latest research on this innovative ingredient.
Learn the many clinical applications of annatto based tocotrienols in the cardiology, metabolic health and oncology space.
About Dr Barrie Tan
Dr Barrie Tan, PhD earned his doctorate in chemistry (University of Otago, New Zealand; 1979), and became a professor of chemistry and food science/nutrition at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst; 1982-1992.
Dr Barrie Tan is hailed as a trailblazer and the world’s foremost expert on vitamin E, credited with discovering tocotrienol in three major natural sources: Palm, Rice and Annatto.
His research expertise includes lipid-soluble nutrients (carotenoids, E vitamers, CoQ10, and omega-3s) that impact chronic conditions. 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.

Thank you Dr Tan, a gentleman who is dedicated and actually cares about humanities health.
He is a great teacher. Love his examples.
Dr. Barrie tan, I think has solidified his position in the annals of healthcare and medicine with his dedication of discovery the man is a miracle his persistence in his beliefs benefit us all and I for one am sincerely grateful for such a great mind it is an honor to live in this time
The mainstream will ensure that such a man will die in obscurity. Meanwhile the "research" of Ansel Keys will continue to kill millions - promoting, as it does, transfats over animal fats. The proof, we live in a fallen world is all around us.

Us Spanish people use annatto(Achiote) is what we call it to make Spanish yellow rice and in most of our cooking. ❤
By the way may I ask, how do you use in cooking (the method)? Are the seeds edible, how do they taste? Thanks.
Very smart Doctor...😍This annato shrub tree was widely grown here in the Philippines and most of us uses it in adobo n sotanghon
What a fantastic interview! Thank you Dr.Tan for your hard work!
I am glad that my major at the university was Microbiology so I may understand this and improve my health.
Wow thanks for the upload😮
Thank you very much!
God bless you both for presenting beneficial works.
Thank you for this info
Thank you my first time watching. a lot to take in.
Such a beautiful mind/lovely person.
Thanks so much for the discussion.
Really enjoyed. Can't wait for follow up.
Brilliant interview.
This is SUCH an important research video. I am re-evaluating my whole supplement regime. This was wonderful. Thank you!
I want to share this video with others but I don't know anybody in the whole world who would sit through it. It is so interesting but it's very high-level interesting, which blows most people away. Jesus said, "Seek and ye shall find." This is a "find" tailored to the seekers among us. You can't give this kind of thing, it has to be discovered... unfortunately.
I think a good thing to do when you go to share this video is ask people what is more important to you staying alive or collecting garbage and chasing the dollar when in fact even if you get the dollar you won’t be healthy enough to spend it on anything good except your health, that is trying to regain your health!
Be careful what you are sharing....
Vitamin E supplements are toxic and unnecessary unless you have a specific health condition that makes you unable to process fats.

Luv Dr.Tan
Thank you so much. Beautiful soul.
Thank you Dr. Tan.I learned a lot of things and I gained an insight into a lot of things .For example, treatment for NAFLD, sarcopenia,improving testosterone in the elderly, MK4.
You did mention two other antioxidants, vitamin C and alpha lipoic acid which intrigued me.
I live in the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. We are indeed fortunate to have the annatto tree growing in our country. People are using it mainly for the color but I would try to extract the tocotrienols from it.
I am so excited to try it because I have been diagnosed with diabetes.Also ,I have an enlarged prostate and possible fibrosis in my liver and lungs.
Regarding fibrosis in your lungs, etc:
If you are so inclined, you may find research on Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, and Lumbrokinase to be interesting and quite possibly beneficial for your condition. Good luck!
Dr Tan is a most humble man.
When we were children we played with the seeds of annato to color our lips and nails. Mothers cook rice noodles or pansit with annatto seed extract and other Philippine recipes. We did not know the it wes full of Vit Tocotrienol.
Can't wait to try dr tans tocotrienol it's coming in the mail soon
My cardiologist wanted to put me on statins and when I told him I take CoQ10, he said, "Don't do that." That guy is about useless.
So, can we take tocotrienols with CoQ10 or not?
Many thanks!!
@@vladislavavladova299 I’m only answering you because I heard Dr. Tan address this issue on another podcast. In that video he stated that he takes both. So, the short answer to your question is YES. Side note: if you want the benefit of tocotrienols do NOT take tocopherols because they compete.
Can I ask why you are taking coQ10, for your heart health? CoQ10 helps your heart?
@@714boba2003 - Yes indeed. There are studies that show how protective CoQ10 is for the heart.
Our bodies make CoQ10 in the liver, in small amounts. Statins block the liver's production of CoQ10, which is why people on statins wind up having serious heart and muscle problems. They have low cholesterol, however. They trade high cholesterol for heart attacks. I guess that's a good trade...?
I watched a Dr. Berg video last night on the importance of vitamin B3 (Niacin) and he showed some studies on how people with low levels of niacin in their systems have cardiovascular problems. I'm putting niacin on the shopping list from now on.
@@GizmoFromPizmo thank you. Good to know it also helps with heart for my mum has PE. Could you please clarify what you mean “lowers cholesterol however. They trade high cholesterol for heart attack.?”
My mum was on statin for 10+ years and I took her off of it and has been giving her coQ1O, plus recently added niacin which significantly helps to lower cholesterol I heard from Dr Berg. Also annato E. Today her cholesterol level is still high but we will see in 2 months when she goes in for bloodwork. 🤞
I hope you do a study comparing Palm Tocotriens vs Annato Tocotrienls in reversing Atherosclos
Dr Tan n Philippines we use the annatto seeds for coloring spaghetti that we cook; if we get sick like boils in the skin we pound the young leaves & put it on top of the boil , the next day the pus will come out & good; we also boil young leaves as tea ; drink after we eat our rice & sweet potato so that we will not accumulate sugar in the body from carbohydrates that we get from rice & sweet potato, we only inherited this from our grandparents, from now on that I heard from you the benefits of annatto I will plant more annatto trees in the Philippines in my farm, Dr Barrie Tan pls continue the good work many had cancer specially the poor in the Philippines, no money to goto the doctor they just die if this will work for my people, I will let your name be known, thank you Dr Barrie Tan
Thanks for the info god bless you 🎉 is anatomy is the fruit orange in color and people wash the seeds to cook with water for colouring and cook
05:53 Important information, Thank You! 🙏❤
Got my BMI below 25 this year. I feel really thin at 5' 7" and 158lbs.
What diet did you do?
@@theregularguyqt9726 Not a diet per se, rather a lifestyle change. Intermittent fasting for 14 hrs three times a week, as little processed food as possible, lots of greens and salads with NO dressing, no friggin suggary snacks or carbohydrate snacks, a shotglass of ACV in a glass of water with the evening meal, no eating after 8pm, no soda, a small handful of almond nuts when you really wanna snack, and a little exercise to raise the heart rate for 30+ minutes a day. It all adds up!
Thanks for this.
Yes, wifey and I switched to tocotrienols back in May 2022. We also take D3 (10,000 IU and 1,250mcg K2/MK7) a day, as well as all the usual helpful supplements (Zn, Mg, NAC, Quercetin, Bromeline, MCT oil, etc.)
I'm not sure if it's totally correct but I've been taking NAC for a while and just found out yesterday that it's not recommended to take it long term. Just thought I'd mention it ;-)
@@Caromo1993 Yes, agreed. We take a break for about 5 days every month.
What brand do you source your 1,250mcg K2/MK7? The max I can find it at is 300mcg. (Unless your taking multiples?)
In other podcasts, Dr. Tan recommends MK4… NOT MK7. I was really quite surprised and a bit frustrated as I had just purchased a three month supply of MK7. Ugh. However, I think he said that our bodies convert 7 to 4, but I’m not sure. Even if that’s true, conversion often translates to less.
I would also like to know…🙏
is it safe for high dosing of vitamin e and at wat dosage, thanks!!!
Amazing. So can tocopherols be completely eliminated from the diet? I'm wondering if the body has transporters for this maybe it's still serving essential functions in a limited capacity?
I am not a medical professional of any sort, but responding to your question because no one else has. I have been following Dr. Tan for a few years and to the best of my understanding most people get sufficient tocopherols via diet. Tocotrienols are a different issue. They are not widely available (for most people), so supplementation is the best option. Having said that, tocotrienols (Delta & Gamma) should be taken without tocopherols because tocopherols interfere with tocotrienols. Personally, I always look for tocotrienols that use the trademark Delta Gold version.
Where can I purchase annatto tocotrienols ? Thanks
When is the best time of day to take it?
The regular form that you see on the shelves topically the new form internally your form internally will that be a problem
My body cannot tolerate Mk7 , make me feel that I am about to have a heart attack .I have bone pains as I am postmenopausal , I ordered these Annatto tocotrienols and take 300mg/day.I ordered to try mk4 1mg to see if I can take them .I have high blood pressure and doctors increased my amlodipine from 5 mg to max 10 mg.Is not working, I find relief with pomegranate as this block angiotensin .I lost fate in doctors, because I believe that my problems came from lack of estrogen. They say you have to stabilize blood pressure and then look into hrt, but this is a catch 22. I take this now with dha 1000mg , also take calcium 500mg,and combine with a special calcium called Ezorb calcium aspartate anhydrous.
I just hope to get better..
Did you clean up your diet? If not, I would start by doing that. Look for the keto diet, IF (intermitent fasting) and related TH-cam videos like the ones from Dr Berg and Dr Ekberg for example. I guess that information kind of saved my life! Good luck!
What about your Vitamin D level? Bone pain is a common symptom of deficiency.
Can you use tocoferAl Topically and will that inhibit the other form
No it will not !
Can anyone please share the best way to obtain non-synthetic Vitamin E Tocotrienol pill form dosagE and time of day?
DR. Tan has shared in other videos that he takes125Mg t.i.d with meals containing fat to help with absorption.
Where can i find a good vegan tocotrienols?
How can I possibly purchase Annato Vitamin E supplement in the Philippines?
Someone please help with my question: I take Dr Mercola vitamin E which has both d-alpha Tocopherol(from sunflower and palm oil) and tocotrienol. Is this the correct to take, or completely eliminate tocopherol and only take tocotrienol? Thank you 🙏
Sunflower and palm oil alone cause heart disease and stroke.
beware of cancer
Yes, Dr. Tan says not to take tocopherol w/ tocotrienol. Take another listen. 😃
I heard another of his videos and he says tochoperls Interferes with to tríenlos. So u should not use it
@@anaruiz8366 how about at different time., like 6 hrs apart?
If its capable of repairing damage cells which was mentioned in your book, then maybe it will do the same in liver cells? It’s also an anti-aging vitamin.I started using powdered annatto seeds in my Yerba mate and sumac which had the antioxidants,also using it in all my cooking including rice., available at the Filipino stores around your area or you can buy it online. I planted the seeds and it’s growing well….
Yerba mate just gives people anxiety 😒
You can plant the red dry seeds? I need to do that.
Annatto seed ? Could you please zoom what is that annatto
Achiote
Can you take tocotrienal during pregnancy?
What vitamin E is the best on the market today
When is the best time to take this if you are taking omega 3
Dr Tan, just to clarify, the interaction betw tocopherol and tocotrienol , you are referring to the synthetic vit E and not the natural vit E. That the prob is synthetic vit E tocopherol interacts with tocotrienols. Is that what you’re saying?
I am currently taking D3with K2 is it safe to also take vitamin E in form or tocotrienols while taking D3 and K2
Have you found the answer?
Is this good for nerve pain ???
You need b12
Many Annatto Tocotrienol products have excipients from non-gmo soy alpha tocopherol or rice bran would these interact Tocotrienols from working?
Look at Designs for Healths annatto, soy free and GMO free
Are you saying that annatto tocotrienols are taken from palm oil (hope not)... hopefully it is derived from the annato shrub tree. Correct?
No they are taken from the annatto seed
Tocotrienols are high in Red Palm Cooking Oil
Where can I find tocotrienols.
Life extension has it.
Swansons
Designs for health have the annatto sourced tocotrienols that Dr Tan speaks to.
Is Alpha-Tocotrienol safe? Or is it the same as Tocotrienols?
Can you just eat the Annato spice to get your supply of Tocotrienols?
No because Annatto is not extracted and concentrated. Its too weak. Only pill for works.
Im indigenous of kuna tribe in Panama , woman applied annatto on the face as sunscreen , and Mexico people use as condiments for food . Interesting ahh
Is this available on Amazon? Is it annato tocotrienols
You can purchase from designsforhealth.com or designsforhealth.com.au
How many mg of tocotrienols is recommended?does it have interaction with other drugs or.medications?
Use Google
Per Dr Tan's recommendation:
100-200 mg of tocotrienol per day is adequate for lipid antioxidant protection for all cell membranes and lipoproteins.
The annatto tocotrienol known as DeltaGold® was granted FDA-affirmed GRAS in 2014 and has been proven safe in a variety of clinical trials up to 600 mg/day.
Studies estimate the safe dose of tocotrienols for humans may be as high as 1,000 mg/day.
@@MrGooch2706 Hello, I've read we should take 300mg per day for it to have an effect.. What are your thoughts, please?
And can we take with Vit D3 & K2?
Many thanks!!
this is solo lab tech talk
what foods rich in vit e
Vegetable oils, almonds, peanuts and peanut butter, nuts, fish, olive oil...
@@xana5649 not really...
red palm oil, rice bran oil, sunflower seeds - contain the most vit E, i.e. tocotrienols, the other foods, less...
@@xana5649 you would need to drink a couple of litres of olive oil per day to get to 200mg of delta tocotrienol.
Cancer
?
waste of money
There are numerous published clinical studies that state otherwise, along with clinical anecdotes to support what Dr Tan has presented here. The clinical studies are available for you to peruse on pubmed.
IS there a difference between annato and regulat tocotrienol?
Yes tocotrienols will differ from different sources; Dr Tan only speaks to annatto-based tocotrienols
