Marshall-Blum Herbal Research Clinic

For over 3 years, Marshall-Blum has been performing clinical trials in the natural health industry. Results for our customers, in many cases, have provided the necessary support for claims substantiation and data for marketing. With the growing number of federal and state laws affecting the natural health industry, Marshall-Blum provides a safety net against the possibilities having to contend with a major regulatory issue, which can cripple, and in some cases collapse a business. Not only is the cost associated with a recall overwhelming, the negative press of having a product that had unsubstantiated claims is overbearing.
