Your First Step to Finding SAFE, EFFECTIVE, HIGH-QUALITY Products
|
| Is it safe? Is it effective? Is it high-quality? |
These are the questions health professionals and consumers are asking about the tens of thousands of commercially-available
dietary supplements, natural medicines, herbals, homeopathics, and other natural products. Too often consumers are forced to make
decisions based on advertising rather than on solid scientific evidence. |
Natural Medicines Brand Evidence-based Rating (NMBERTM)
helps answer these questions for over 60,000 commercial products
|
The Natural Medicines Brand Evidence-based Rating (NMBERTM)
system addresses this healthcare need by giving each commercial
brand product an unbiased, overall rating based on scientific evidence.
|
|
|
How is a product's NMBERTM determined?
|
For the past decade, the publishers of
Natural Medicines Comprehensive
Database
have analyzed over 16,000 studies. After scrutinizing research results
from around the world, evidence-based Safety Ratings and
Effectiveness
Ratings
were assigned to the natural medicines that make up the ingredients in
commercial brand products.
The researchers use a rigorous set of evidence-based criteria to assign an
unbiased rating between 1 and 10 to each product. The NMBERTM system takes
into account Safety Ratings and Effectiveness Ratings from
Natural Medicines
Comprehensive Database
as well as manufacturing quality data directly from
adverse event report systems and recognized sources such as the United States
Pharmacopeia (USP) and other regulatory agencies.
Products rated with lower numbers are not recommended for use due to
potential safety concerns or product quality problems. Products with the highest
ratings contain ingredients that have undergone studies meeting rigorous
standards and have shown positive results.

"Medical Professionals as well as consumers need to
know which dietary supplement products are safe,
effective, and manufactured and labeled properly.
Many have hoped for a long time that the FDA or
other reliable organization would provide this needed
information.
The new
NMBERTMsystem fills this huge void in
healthcare. It will help consumers and professionals
avoid unsafe, ineffective products, and make it easier
to find high-quality products."
