For a healthier future

The Genestra Brands range is based on a scientific and factual basis fueled by research as well as traditional use. A team of advisors and a group of distinguished partners, including independent researchers from academic institutions, medical schools and hospitals, helped create these unique, effective and stable natural products. The research and development team has extensive expertise, ranging from microbiology to immunology, including nutrition, with significant advances concerning the role of microbial flora in humans, the development of natural compounds to plant base promoting microbial balance and the role of fatty acids. With peer-reviewed and PubMed-listed publications ranging from preclinical trials and review articles to controlled human clinical trials, these products reflect the latest evidence-based research aimed at supporting practitioners' goals.

Genestra Brands is also part of a scientific group participating in academic research aimed at evaluating the safety and effectiveness of nutritional supplements through direct funding, as well as material transfers. Currently, this partnership is formally participating in 19 such trials around the world, and other offers are under consideration. Areas of research include alpha-lipoic acid in neurology, omega-3 fatty acids in psychiatry, and zinc for skin health. Institutional collaborations include Mayo Clinic, Stanford University, Michigan State University, Oregon Health & Science University and Munich-Großhadern University Hospital.

Genestra Brands' scientific team and partners also hold leadership positions in numerous organizations within the industry, including the American Society for Nutrition, the Council for Responsible Nutrition, the European Responsible Nutrition Alliance and the International Alliance of Dietary Supplements Associations, among others. Additionally, this group recently launched a research and education platform. This program, called the Institute on Nutrition and Functional Foods (INAF), brings together more than 500 scientists, research associates and assistants specializing in exploring the complex interactions between foods, food components, nutrition and health. These collaborative efforts will help refine expertise in seven key sectors, including gastrointestinal health and women's health.

To continue to advance knowledge of the role of the microbiome in human health while training naturopathic students and practitioners, Genestra Brands is proud to sponsor the first-ever Genestra HMF Microbiome Researcher in Residence position at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM).
