Raj Kumar Chopra
It is with sadness and gratitude for a life so fully lived, we share the news that the beloved chairman and co-founder of Tishcon Corporation, Raj K. Chopra, took his last breath peacefully, surrounded by love, on Friday, February 13th, 2026 at his home in Westbury, New York.
Raj K. Chopra was a leading figure in the vitamin and health foods industries, and a luminary in the world of coenzyme Q10. In 1976, Raj co-founded Tishcon Corporation, a manufacturer of nutritional supplements, vitamins, and nutraceuticals, for which he coined the tagline, “only nature has had more experience with vitamins.”
Raj was a true pioneer, from the innovative products he developed to his unique leadership style. His groundbreaking development of a superior delivery system for coenzyme Q10, a patented, hydrosoluble formulation, benefits millions around the world. His emphasis on improving the bioavailability and delivery of essential nutrients raised the bar in the industry. Raj was often quoted as saying “we don’t want vitamins that simply enrich the toilet bowls!” – hence, his interest in pharmacokinetics and commitment to designing delivery systems to optimize absorption.
