evidence-based research expertise to the show floor of Natural Products

relating to FDA and FTC violations with dietary supplement companies over recent months,
NMR primarily sought to share and reinforce their value in the industry as a scientific and
clinical research company that can provide many services to help avoid unnecessary run-ins with
the agencies. NMR's marketing coordinator, Latesha Richards, attended the show and said that
"[NMR's] mission at NPEE was to let companies know that we are a niche clinical research
organization in natural products and that we can provide valuable services including assisting
companies crafting and substantiating claims that meet FDA requirements…I got a sense that
companies were quite amazed to find out that a company like ours exists."
Representatives of NMR walked the floor and met with company
representatives face-to-face, to forge new relationships and
maintain existing ones. They showcased capabilities in developing
clinical trials, managing investigative sites, and writing medical
white papers. "We can help companies support and substantiate
their scientific and medical claims regarding their product. We
provide up-to-date reviews of the scientific and medical literature,
design and carry out clinical trials, and provide laboratory
certification of ingredients in a product. We also prepare written reports that comply with rules,
regulations and standards of governing agencies, scientific organizations and publishers," said
Charlie Spielholz, Ph.D., of the capabilities that NMR provides.

In addition, NMR presented their recently featured article in Nutraceuticals World online entitled
"Proprietary Research: Bringing Nutraceuticals to the Next Level - Conducting product- or
ingredient-specific research is crucial to the long-term success of this market." "I think the article
was an excellent way to educate or perhaps reinforce a good practice in the industry and leverage
our solid grasp of the scientific and marketing issues we face in this industry - the issues
discussed in the article are very timely," NMR's marketing coordinator pointed out. NMR made
clear that their job is to educate, but their job is nowhere near complete.
NMR invites all companies using natural products as ingredients or brands to contact them with
specific questions about their clinical research, medical writing or full-range of consulting
services.
