Address from the founder
Being a lecturer and researcher for decades (1988-2018) in the field of medicinal plants, I was seriously worried by the clear under utilisation of Nigerian medicinal, economic and nutraceutical plants in the country while we import inferior plant products in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
Meanwhile, there is an urgent need for the conservation, utilisation and preservation of medicinal plants for health and economic purposes to safeguard from gradually fading away as it happened to many of our traditional knowledge and practices.
The establishment of Herbalpoint Services was both as a research and business venture towards developing simple, affordable and accessible options of medicines, supplements and nutraceuticals from Nigerian medicinal plants
