Our mission is to fulfill Our customers by satisfying a need that remained unsolved for too many years: the search for natural products for the prevention, the care and the beauty of the body. We treat products with safe and natural origin, free from those collateral effects that are typical of other synthetic products.
Bibliographic studies and research are developed directly in Our Company by a team of professionals (chemists, pharmacists and doctors), while supplementary chemical and pharmaceutical studies are carried on in cooperation with the most renowned Italian institutions in the field of Phytotherapy. Recently some of Pharmalife Research studies were published on science magazines such as PHARMACOPSYCHIATRY, LIFE SCIENCES, JOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND PHARMACOLOGY etc. The Medline Index indicates these core magazines as “highly influential” for the scientific community.
