31st October 2003: Flordis welcomes a new era for herbal medicines in Australia!
The report released today by the Government is an important step forward for consumers, health professionals and the industry. When implemented its recommendations will substantially improve the environment for evidence-based herbal medicines in Australia. Linking the health claims made for products with the exact herbal ingredients that have been proven in the trials ensures that consumers and health professionals can make health decisions based on the best evidence. By ensuring companies hold evidence to substantiate their claims will restore confidence in the industry and will encourage further research.
"To be sure of quality manufacturing, as well as proof that the products do what they claim they do on the pack, consumers should always ask whether the products they are buying are backed by published clinical evidence" commented Flordis Managing Director, Nigel Pollard. "Clinical trials are the best way to ensure a safe and effective natural product" he added.
The Flordis herbal medicines are the only clinically proven herbal medicine range in Australia we know of. There are 600 studies published on the Flordis range of 8 products. Each year they are prescribed over 5 million times in Germany alone, and the range includes the leading herbal medicines in the world, measured by sales and clinical evidence.
