There has been a noticeable increase in research into ‘alternative’ therapies over recent years. There are, however a growing number of research bodies and individual doctors that have conducted wonderfully intelligent studies. We look at them all, good and bad, and use them to help us formulate and improve our products. We also participate in trials and research in whatever way an independent company can. We work with GP’s, nutritional consultants and health advisors who are some of the most experienced within the industry. We provide examples of relevant research within product descriptions and within articles in this site. If you would like fuller examples of available research for any ingredient within BetterYou products simply contact us and we will be happy to help in every way possible.
A lot of research papers consist of analysis into individual herbs rather than combinations. Research tries to find what one thing happens when a single ingredient is consumed. Unfortunately, unlike in a test laboratory, nature rarely allows things to work in isolation. One ingredient invariably has an effect on, and in turn is affected by other elements. The human body works in just the same way, with one function affecting and being affected by other functions. This makes scientists a little frustrated when trying to pigeonhole a herb, vitamin or mineral as responsible for one single benefit. Factors affecting our health have to be seen as a whole. Our bodies and what we put into them have to be seen holistically. More and more researchers are adapting their investigations to try to analyse natural health treatments with a broader results base.
What we believe passionately is that through more open-minded research and a willingness to share knowledge we can all start to make small but ever growing changes to improving our attitude to health maintenance and respect for the wonderful thing that is our body.
