VIRGO to Hold Post-Con Tocotrienols Workshop at SSW

PHOENIX VIRGO, an information distribution company focused on the most innovative and complex business-to-business markets that fuel the U.S. and world economies, will be holding a post-conference workshop after SupplySide West, The Next Big E: Tocotrienols and the Science-based Business Opportunity.

The robust science demonstrating the benefits of tocotrienols, combined with a still largely untapped market, results in what could be one of the top growth opportunities in the market for dietary supplement, food, beverage and personal care companies.

These are exciting days for tocotrienol studies with translational research on its way," said Barrie Tan, founder and president of American River Nutrition, Inc., and added that it is quite astonishing that 50 percent of all research on tocotrienols was published in the last five years."

We look forward to sharing the latest research in the science of tocotrienols and why it is gaining so much interest from scientists and increasingly, from health experts," said Dr. CW Fong, head of research of Davos Life Science.

Joining the strong body of science is a growing recognition in the popular media, including a strong endorsement by Dr. Mehmet Oz. In fact, one of Dr. Ozs guests for that segment, Canadian media icon and health expert Bryce Wylde, is one of the presenters at this workshop. He will be joined by a panel of experts to cover the science, benefits, applications, substantiated claims, market conditions and go-to-market strategies that companies can apply to capture this great potential.

The post conference workshop will be held Nov. 16 from 8:30 am to 11:30 am at the Sands Expo Congress Center, Marco Polo 704, Level 1 in Las Vegas.

Sponsored by American River Nutrition, Inc. and Davos Life Science, the program includes three hours of education across the following sessions:

·         State of the Market Safety, Science and Claims

·         Consumer Awareness and Perceptions

·         History and Current Applications

·         New Research and Applications
