Our mission is to evaluate both benefits and risks of medicinal herbs:

  • We investigate efficacy and safety of medicinal herbs and other dietary supplements supported by world-wide collaborations.


  • We promote herbal use based on evidence-based research.


  • We introduce novel herbal formulations through proprietary techniques and standardized procedures.


  • We offer educational information to heathcare professionals on usage and adverse effects of alternative therapies.


  • We provide unbiased herbal information to today's health-conscious consumers.


  • We warn consumers and patients of potential danger and hoaxes of herbs and dietary supplements.
