The use of natural product-based remedies to maintain good health or treat disease has been known for centuries, and in recent years the use of natural health products has increased in Canada. Although natural health products in Canada are being held to tougher standards than previously, a great deal remains poorly understood regarding whether any of these products actually provide any beneficial effects. Our research is aimed at developing a better understanding of how some natural health products work. Any beneficial effects observed for natural health products would be the result of the actions of the specific natural products present. We are interested in learning about the complex fundamental chemical properties of these natural products, and how these chemical properties may help us to learn about the health benefits that they may cause.

使用天然产品为基础的补救措施，以保持良好的健康或治疗疾病已被称为几个世纪以来，近年来，使用天然保健产品在加拿大增加。虽然加拿大的天然保健产品比以前更严格，但对于这些产品是否真的提供任何有益的效果，人们仍然知之甚少。我们的研究旨在更好地了解一些天然健康产品的工作原理。天然健康产品的任何有益效果都是特定天然产品作用的结果。我们有兴趣了解这些天然产品的复杂基本化学性质，以及这些化学性质如何帮助我们了解它们可能带来的健康益处。
