Natural Standard was founded by healthcare providers and researchers to provide high-quality, evidence-based information about complementary and alternative therapies.
Natural Standard is an international research collaboration that systematically reviews scientific evidence on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Together with the faculty of Harvard Medical School, Natural Standard provides consumer information on CAM for Harvard Health Publications and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Natural Standard also provides information on herbal medicine and dietary supplements to MedlinePlus, which is produced and maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Grades reflect the level of available scientific data for or against the use of each therapy for a specific medical condition.
“Natural Standard is a consortium of researchers, pharmacists and physicians affiliated with prominent academic institutions including Harvard Medical School. As a recognized authority in integrative medicine, they offer multiple services extended well beyond herbal medicinals to include other complimentary medicine modalities.”

“The reviews published by Natural Standard are the most reliable source of up to date, balanced information on herbs and supplements I have found. Knowing that the information is based on a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence, considers the historic/folkloric perspective, is developed by experts in the field, AND peer-reviewed makes Natural Standard my top choice for information on herbs and supplements. When The Rx Consultant develops an issue on herbs or supplements, Natural Standard is a key resource.”
Terry M. Baker, PharmDEditor, The Rx Consultant
“There is a critical need among health care providers for an evidence-based, continuously updated, and practical database on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). With a large percentage of the US population employing CAM therapies, health care providers in this country must be able to quickly grasp the clinical significance of these therapies with regards to the overall management of patients' health. Natural Standard provides a credible, rigorously researched, unbiased source of information on an ever-expanding number of complementary and alternative therapies. Boston University School of Medicine Continuing Medical Education has partnered with Natural Standard to sponsor many of the NS modules for AMA PRA Category 1 credit for physicians. ”
