This award is deeply deserved. Roy has not only advanced our industry, he’s elevated our collective commitment to authenticity, safety, and science in plant medicine.
Roy has fought tirelessly to elevate the credibility and integrity of herbal ingredients and traditional medicine; work that has shaped how we understand, formulate, and trust the botanicals we use.
