Did you know that oxidation is a major player in many chronic health issues? Now, imagine a world where a simple supplement could revolutionize your bone health and protect you from chronic conditions. Intrigued? You should be!

In this episode, we explore the world of vitamin E, specifically focusing on the lesserknown annatto tocotrienols. Unlike its wellknown counterpart, alphatocopherol, which has been shown to be less effective and even potentially harmful, annatto tocotrienols are making waves in the health community for their incredible benefits.

Joining us today is the pioneer behind this groundbreaking discovery–Barrie Tan, PhD. Dubbed the “Tocotrienol King” by the esteemed cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra, Dr. Tan's expertise and passion for tocotrienols are unparalleled. He will share his insights on how annatto tocotrienols and geranylgeraniol (GG) can significantly improve bone health, especially for people with Osteoporosis or Osteopenia.

Whether you're looking to protect your bones as you age or seeking ways to reduce inflammation and lower your risk of chronic diseases, Dr. Tan's information could be lifechanging.
