You’re probably taking it already––but not in the form that actually works!

You see vitamin E everywhere. 

Multivitamins. Skin creams. Even so-called “health supplements.”

But here’s what most people don’t know…

Most vitamin E supplements are missing the most powerful form of this nutrient.

And that means missing out on the benefits that actually matter—like staying sharp, aging well, and keeping your body strong for life.That’s why Lara Pizzorno sat down with Dr. Barrie Tan—the world’s foremost expert on vitamin E—to uncover the truth.

And what he shared is so jaw-dropping that major health institutions are taking notice…

Here’s what’s happening right now:

  • The Danish government is funding a $15M study on this form of Vitamin E—for Stage 4 cancer. This isn’t fringe science. It’s a government-backed investigation into a compound that’s showing real promise in the fight against late-stage cancer.
  • The University of Florida is studying this form of Vitamin E in Stage 2 pancreatic cancer patients—because early research suggests it could make a difference where few treatments do.
  • Worried about memory loss? A 2023 study found this may help protect brain function and slow cognitive decline. Dr. Tan explains why this matters—and what it means for you.
  • Bone loss starts earlier than you think. Go to 13:55 in the interview—Dr. Tan reveals how this form of Vitamin E could play a key role in keeping your bones stronger as you age.
