Being a researcher and scientist, Dr. Tan sure loves his developments and research and this passion is what that helped in discover the Tocotrienols. But how did his journey begin?
In 1983, when he was in Malaysia, he noticed that the Palm produces carotenes (bright-coloured pigments important for photosynthesis) as a biproduct. This made him wonder that what might be the precise chemical components of the Palm oil. After returning to the U.S., he began his research, he discovered a light brownish portion which seemed to possess high antioxidant properties. And later he found out that they were Tocotrienols! He was amazed at their anti-oxidizing abilities. Later, he also discovered Tocotrienols in Rice, but this still wasn’t the end of the story.
In the late 1990s, when Dr. Tan was in South America, he was researching on some marigold flowers but what caught his eye was an annatto plant, just thirty feet away. He opened a fruit pod of the annatto plant and saw no flesh but seeds. He rubbed the seeds, and an intense red oil coated his hand. And the rest is history! Later when he went back to the U.S., he discovered that the Annatto contained only Tocotrienols unlike Palm and Rice which contained Tocopherols as well! Thus, finding the purest resources of Tocotrienols!
