Herbal supplements are very popular, and for good reason: when chosen carefully and used appropriately they provide considerable support in restoring health and mitigating a host of disorders.
But how do you—and your patients—know which brands will actually deliver on their claims?
Which are free from contaminants, adulterants, and allergens?
Which companies are truly investing in quality assurance and ingredient integrity?
In this free webinar, you’ll learn about the state-of-the-science in botanical quality assurance from Elan Sudberg, CEO, of Alkemist Labs—one of the world’s leaders in analytical testing for botanical medicines.
