History and Science Behind Our Natural Products

In this section you may find more detailed information on the historical and scientific background of dietary supplements from SagaMedica.

Growing Interest in Traditional Herbal Medicine

Since the end of the 18th century, traditional herbal medicine has been pushed aside by advances in modern medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. Today, however, herbal medicine is regaining its stature in the world and there is growing interest in natural remedies as a way to treat or prevent illnesses.

Regulations for Natural Products

Requirements for a solid research background are becoming more pronounced and, in most Western countries, strict rules and regulations regarding the marketing of natural products are being formed. These provisions are being made due to the fact that many of the claims companies make regarding the efficacy of their natural products have no scientific proof. In the coming years, this will likely result in a widespread culling of natural products that do not meet official standards.

Science Explains Historical Popularity

Traditional use often serves as a foundation for modern research. When our research began, we looked at how  Icelandic medicinal herbs were used in the past. Thus, modern research now puts our ancestors’ use of herbal medicine into scientific context.

Scientific research at the University of Iceland since 1992, and extensive data gathering from published scientific articles, supports the claims made regarding the Icelandic Angelica archangelica.

Consult your doctor before taking dietary supplements for health problems. 
Our natural remedies might help, but alternative medicine does not replace regular treatment.
