About Naturopathic Science

A clean-lines education hub: practical protocols, clear safety notes, and transparent sourcing to off-site libraries.

Editorial Principles

  • Education only; no on-site supplement sales
  • Evidence-aware, tradition-respecting, safety-forward
  • Plain-English summaries with links to deeper reads

Research & Evidence

How we translate research into practical protocols.

Our approach

  • Map mechanisms → pick interventions with plausible fit
  • Prefer human data; clearly label tradition vs evidence strength
  • Flag safety, interactions, and contraindications up front

FAQ

Do you cite studies?

Yes—protocol subpages include citations and notes on evidence strength.

Do you accept brand sponsorships?

No on this site. Education only; commerce lives off-site to keep lines clean.

Quality, Purity & Potency

How to assess supplements before they ever reach your cart.

Quick checklist:
  • cGMP and third-party testing (ISO/IEC 17025 preferred)
  • Clear lot/COA access; identity, purity, potency assays
  • Stable/clinically-used form (e.g., magnesium glycinate vs oxide)
  • Transparent excipients; allergen disclosures
  • Reasonable dosing, realistic claims, and recall history

What labs test for

Identity (correct species/compound), contaminants (heavy metals, microbes), adulterants, and active-constituent potency.

How this site works, what to expect, and how to use our protocols responsibly.

  1. Education, not treatment: Use our guides to learn and to ask better questions of your clinician.
  2. Safety first: Check interactions, contraindications, and quality notes before trying anything new.
  3. Two-site split: Herbs live at NaturalHerbLibrary.com. Supplement forms/brands live at SupplementsApothecary.com.
  4. Protocols: Start with foundation (sleep, stress, nutrition), then add targeted steps.
