Dr. Papas has studied vitamin E, antioxidants and nutraceuticals in nutrition and health and has extensive experience in research, development and introduction of new products. He promoted the whole family of vitamin E compounds including all four tocopherols and all four tocotrienols, as it is found in our food, as the most effective way to take supplemental vitamin E. Dr. Papas was quite skeptical at first regarding the efficacy of nutritional supplements. Years of research to the contrary led him to change his beliefs. Projects in the mid 1980’s to establish the difference between natural and synthetic vitamin E further confirmed his opinion that natural compounds are the most effective. It is now officially recognized by the American Academy of Science that natural vitamin E has twice the bioavailability of the synthetic version.
