Episode 46 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is all about vitamin E, a vitamin that many of us have heard of, but not many of us know what it actually does.
In this episode, you’ll meet Dr. Barrie Tan, a trailblazer and the world’s foremost expert on vitamin E.
His research expertise includes lipid-soluble nutrients (carotenoids, E vitamers, CoQ10, and omega-3s) that impact chronic conditions.
He was the first to introduce tocotrienols benefits to the nutrition industry and developed the first-ever tocopherol-free tocotrienol product derived from annatto.
Beyond tocotrienol, Dr. Tan’s research now spans into geranylgeraniol, a critical endogenous nutrient for healthy aging.
Dr. Tan has found that vitamin E is one of the keys to actually reducing inflammation in the body and protecting all of the special fats in our bodies.
As Dr. Tan explains in this episode, all of the cells in our bodies are surrounded by these special fats, and the right kinds of vitamin E actually help protect those fats that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions.
As Dr. Tan is the world's foremost expert on this stuff, this is an amazing conversation you won’t want to miss!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The profound health benefits of vitamin E.
- How it might be key to anti-aging and longevity.
- The special form of vitamin E that Dr. Tan identified in South America.
- How vitamin E and other compounds can help combat cancer, improve lipid and cholesterol levels, decrease fatty liver, reduce inflammation, and help reduce weight.
- And so much more!
So, if you want to get the most from your health and fitness efforts, listen to this episode on vitamin E, take some notes, and check out FM30X!

[@leboonleboon1638]

Thank you thank you for having this segment. How do we get a hold of this doctor because my wife and I have been recently both diagnosed with very very low deficient vitamin E Gamma. However, the rest of our vitamin e levels were normal. Our question is is because we don’t have gallbladders is that a contributor why were deficient in vitamin E gamma? And my other question is since you have access to the world renowned vitamin E specialist we are we started supplementing the Puritans pride, natural vitamin E 400 mg 1 mg of the mixed how long do you think it will take for those levels to increase after supplementation thank you, thank you thank you

[@ttbay6182]

Hi. Would like to know I have type 2 diabetes and recently confirm to have heart issues after my ECG test. I have only started taking tocotrienols last week 50mg once a day. I was thinking to increase to 200-300mg per day. What is the ideal dosage for people like you? does it have any side effects or toxic to the body? My doctor wasn't able to give me any advice on this Thanks

[@lorenpowell1606]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ68YX6le9aegJIsi=4AAr7GjkWyVE0L1E This video interview talked about chronic issues at 200-300mg and 600mg for stage 4 cancer level.

[@hannah5245]

I have been taking tocotrienols for about 2 yr, 200mg, divided does. Is it safe to continue taking it and for how long?

[@FitMotherProject]

Hey Hannah, thanks for writing in and great question! Unfortunately, any specific medical or dosage questions are better suited for your doctor to answer. Only they know you and your situation best. However, we appreciate you watching and best of luck! -The FFP Team

[@ttbay6182]

Hi. Would like to know do you have any underlying health conditions before started taking tocotrienols? I have type 2 diabetes and recently encounter heart issues after my ECG test. I have only started taking tocotrienols last week 50mg once a day. I was thinking to increase to 200-300mg per day. I hope it really helps my heart issues

[@yume816]

I would assume small dosage is fine long term since Dr Tan say for daily protection in this modern society stressed society is 100-200mg. Stay tuned for more research.

[@oloindafolo]

Can cancer cells become resistant to the anti cancer effects of Tocotrienols?

[@FitMotherProject]

Hey oloindafolo, thanks for writing in and great question! Unfortunately, this is a question better suited for a medical professional as only they know the details involved with this type of interaction. Best of luck and thanks for watching! -The FMP Team

Part 2

[@FitMotherProject]

🙌

[@lynserkawi4704]

great interview! if you want case study for stage 4 colon cancer and make it here in the philippines you can count me in sir. ty

[@FitMotherProject]

You’re very welcome 🙏🏼

[@susan4789]

Did I miss where Dr Tan tells how much GG he takes? He does take K4. I heard that in another podcast.

[@viswanathanganesh8185]

I am a vegetarian so how can I get the benefits of tocotrienol, annato E🤔🤔 ?

[@FitMotherProject]

Hey Viswanathan, thanks for writing in and great question! You can still find tocotrienol in a variety of vegetarian options, most notably grains (barley, rye, rice, and wheat). And if looking for other vegetarian ideas, check out the following video: pulse.ly/yac5o8gwvf -The FMP Team

[@AllanDSingh]

Can i boil the seeds and drink as a tea. Would I get the benefits

[@FitMotherProject]

Hey Allan, you can boil the seeds and bring to a simmer if choosing to consume them this way. I would recommend steeping for around 3min as anything more may produce a more bitter taste. -The FMP Team

[@yume816]

I recall Dr Tan mentioned in another podcast that it’s impossible to consume adequate annato to see real benefits

[@donnysingh6389]

Since Vitamin E is fat as soluble and not water soluble... is it possible to overdose to toxic level ?

[@FitMotherProject]

Hey Donny, thanks for writing in and great question! Although rare, it is possible to consume too much and achieve Vitamin E toxicity levels. The safe upper limit for most adults is 1,000mg/day so as long as you are staying under those levels, you should be in good shape. Thanks for watching! -The FMP Team

[@gloriabailey6170]

I keep hearing about it but it don’t explain why it’s so important

[@yume816]

Majority of illnesses are related to fats in our cells. Unlike other antioxidants, Vit E tocotrienol is the only antioxidant that is found 90% on cell walls and protects it from oxidation/inflammation.

[@bobrags1976]

What is gg

[@714boba2003]

Geranylgeraniol-responsible for production of protein, k2, Ubiquinol, and testosterone.

[@LLee0]

gg stands for Gernanyl geraniol. It's a basic building block of life itself. It's used to build VoQ10, k2-mk4, skeleton muscle. It is also neuroprotective. It prevents all cell walls from NOS (nitric oxidative stress), resulting from autoimmune and chronic inflammation.

[@FitMotherProject]

👍

[@arambhhaiprachand]

I rather choose live with my ailment then listen these in detail structure bonding and chemistry terms. Lads if you listen these podcasts a video everyday it will remind your subconsciously you are not well. Don’t be so serious utilise this time to do some thing creative swim walk sleep meditate eat right these research are only a humble attempt from these scientists. Eat them in moderation. Love your kids and partner. Forgive my the ones you hate. ❤
