With a team of esteemed experts, the organization will focus on key areas, including facilitating high-quality research, advocating for science-backed regulation, and raising awareness about the potential benefits and risks of botanical products.

"The need for rigorous botanical research has never been more pressing. SABER's mission to create a platform for science-driven education and advocacy will help bring clarity to an industry that deeply impacts public health," said Dr. Mary Hardy, member of SABER's Steering Committee and a board-certified internist and specialist in botanical and integrative medicine. "Botanical products deserve the same level of scientific scrutiny and transparency as any other health or wellness offering."

A New Era for Botanical Science and Advocacy

Botanicals hold immense potential for therapeutic and wellness applications. However, misinformation, inconsistent quality standards, and gaps in regulation continue to hinder public trust and access. SABER is committed to addressing these barriers by:

• Supporting independent, peer-reviewed scientific research.
• Advocating for transparent and responsible regulation.
• Providing accessible, evidence-based educational resources for consumers and professionals alike.

Through collaborative partnerships and a robust network of experts, SABER will spearhead initiatives to ensure botanical products are studied, understood, and utilized safely.

Why Botanical Research and Education Matter

Botanicals are widely used in modern wellness practices, yet significant gaps in scientific understanding remain. SABER believes that public health, consumer safety, and equitable access depend on education and science-based standards. By fostering innovation in botanical research and ensuring the dissemination of accurate information, SABER aims to empower communities to make informed decisions about plant-based solutions.
