Online Reports

We are mostly conducting individualized research as requested by our
customers, but we have also a limited number of reports available for
purchase through the Internet. These catalogues of new possible leads
for further clinical research are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather,
they represent the results of a strict evaluation of the plant drugs
mentioned in the sources. These selective lists help focus the research
on the plants with the highest potential for success, therefore saving time, effort
and research expenses.
