Blackmores backs research
May 3, 2010
BLACKMORES says its annual
Research Symposium is an
important way of supporting
ongoing research into
complementary medicines.
The 2010 event took place in
Sydney last Fri, with a range of
eminent researchers presenting
their findings and ongoing studies
into a range of conditions under the
theme ‘Fertility to Frailty’.
Blackmores Director of
Education, Pam Stone, told PD that
“there’s a real need for more good
quality data and clinical trials to
validate some of the treatments”.
She said that the presentations
weren’t directly related to particular
Blackmores products, but rather
covered leading edge research into
how supplements can affect
different health areas.
“Research is critical to the future
of the industry,” she said, with the
Symposium covering a diversity of
areas including mens’ health,
womens’ health, sleep, protein
muscle and obesity, and cognition
and behaviour.
Several hundred attendees from
the industry in Australia and NZ
took part in the two day seminar
which featured presentations from
14 world-class researchers.
