About Us

Despite the impressive health benefits and affordability that Nature presents to us, products of natural origin are not of interest to pharmaceutical companies that focus on the development of therapeutics that are guaranteed to deliver huge profit margins. That simply needs to change.

Relying on my background in pharmaceutical and drug discovery research, I started Botanica Medella when I noticed how wide is the gap between herbal and dietary supplements' research and the market. I believe that if dietary supplements are manufactured properly, scientifically, and with strict guidelines they would have a strong potential to minimize our reliability on expensive pharmaceuticals through improving our overall health.

My goal is to provide supplements that have the scientific backing and thorough active ingredient testing essential to fulfill the promised health benefits.
