GNT Scientists Take the Stage at New York Medical College Integrative Health Symposium

Botanical products are only as good as the science behind them. Dr. Yang walked the audience through the real-world challenges of botanical quality control — natural variability between harvests, processing differences, and the sheer chemical complexity of multi-herb formulas — and showed how GNT meets each of them. He detailed our end-to-end program: authentication of raw herbs, HPTLC and HPLC/LC-MS fingerprinting, and heavy-metal, pesticide, and microbial testing carried out to USP and FDA standards, followed by in vitro and in vivo confirmation of the finished product. The result is botanical medicine with consistent identity, safety, and potency, batch after batch.

Food allergy is an IgE-mediated disease affecting roughly 33 million Americans, yet treatment options remain limited. Dr. Carnazza presented GNT’s research at the intersection of the gut microbiome and allergic disease — explaining how a healthy, balanced microbiome supports immune tolerance, how its disruption is linked to allergy, and how restoring beneficial bacteria can calm allergic responses. She then introduced GNT’s integrative innovation: pairing probiotics and fermented foods with active compounds our team has identified from traditional herbs — such as berberine, xanthopurpurin, and arctigenin — into a next-generation combination approach to reducing IgE and allergic symptoms.
