We are dedicated to demonstrating the efficacy of our products with sound science. To this end, several research and development studies have been undertaken, involving collaboration with Thompson Rivers University and other institutions, to scientifically validate the efficacy of Strauss herbal formulations.
This research and other similar ongoing projects, not only allow for the authentication of Strauss products, but also provide scientific validation of traditionally developed, effective herbal formulations. These projects also help establish quality control and quality assurance criteria that ensure the manufacture of the highest quality natural health products.
"A One Year Obervational Study of the Effects of Strauss Heartdrops® on Cholesterol Reduction"
Strauss Heartdrops®, an all herbal dietary supplement, was tested for efficacy and safety in a year-long trial utilizing 14 volunteers by an independent research company in Vancouver, BC.

Over the one year period, the subject group moved from blood lipid values that indicated increased risk to one of 'normal' or reduced chance of coronary heart disease. None of the subjects taking Strauss Heartdrops® expressed detection of undesirable side effects, discomfort, or interactions with their prescription drugs. Reduction in blood lipid values was statistically significant. Click here to view graphs

As a Food Biochemist with over 18 years of combined academic and industry experience in food and related fields, I've written half-a-dozen book chapters, over 25 research publications, and several patents. I know the importance of organoleptics as applied to foods. Organoleptics is the science of taste, smell and the other senses. They are vital to the production of food, whether in the kitchen, in restaurants, or by the giant food manufacturers. If a product does not look, taste or smell good or as expected, the consumer will not purchase or consume it. Organoleptics is no less important to the herbalist, to identify an herb and determine its efficacy and potency, in the formulation of high quality, effective natural health products.
Peter Strauss, and his father Jim before him, have formulated over 20 herbal products over the past 28 years, based on their extensive knowledge of herbs and their unique organoleptic skills, passed down through eight generations. They have the ability to identify herbs and their potency, which are best combined and in what proportions to maximize their synergistic or complimentary effects and the therapeutic value of the blended product.
Thousands of testimonials and satisfied customers aren't enough. Through collaborative research being carried out at Thompson Rivers University and several other institutions I am directing, the company is generating solid scientific, technical data to substantiate the quality and efficacy claims for its products. This active research program is an ongoing commitment of the company to substantiate and continue the Strauss family tradition to provide people with the highest quality and most effective natural health-giving products to help them maximize their quality of life.

I was fortunate enough to be mentored for 25 years by a brilliant medical doctor. Dr. Leo Roy was a researcher, teacher, author and lecturer. He loved nature and natural methods of healing. Dr. Roy was one of the founders of the Ontario College of Naturopathic Medicine.
Dr. Roy was extremely particular as to the type of food supplements he would recommend to his patients or students. He felt confident of very few companies on the North American continent.
He invited me to visit him in British Columbia to view some of the research he was working on, together with other researchers. While there he mentioned that I should investigate Strauss Herb Company. Dr. Roy was most impressed with not only the quality of their products, but also the integrity of Strauss Herb Company. On my return to work at my clinic in Toronto, I started asking patients about their experiences with supplements, and many patients gave me very positive feedback about Strauss Herb Company products.
