KEY INGREDIENTS: PUBLISHED PAPERS
At Louthera Australia we spend hundreds of hours researching our ingredients to understand the science behind their properties.
We research how they work, what the key benefits are, how they interact with other ingredients, what the optimal concentrations are to provide potency of effect without harmful overdosing and where they come from.
If you are as interested as we are in the science behind the scenes we have provided some reference material that pertains to a few of our key ingredients.
This referencing is by no means exhaustive and we are constantly updating our knowledge banks as new information becomes available and new studies are published.
