We’re serious about our product’s nutritional contents and claims, so we’ve formed a Scientific Advisory Board. This group of established and respected individuals in the health and wellness community help assist us in communicating the accuracy of existing data stating the nutritional benefits of Sambazon products as well as help us commission studies examining the health impact of our products consumption in the diet.


The Sambazon Advisory Board:

As Chief Scientific Officer for the Nutritional Science Research Institute and Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Bukowski’s focus has been on immununutrition, the study of how nutrients in certain foods & beverages can induce our innate immune systems to fight off disease. In 2003, his study was published, proving that drinking five to six cups per day of tea boosts, by 500 to 1500%, the ability of an innate immune system component to make interferon gamma.
Jonathan Gordon, Ph.D.
