Botany Health specializes in natural medicines aimed at helping people struggling with illness and disease, as well as people that just want to live an overall healthy life. Botany Health focuses on natural medicines and alternative treatment options that have been scientifically verified to have pharmacological activity against disease and illness.
2) Who are the owners ? She obtained her PhD from the University of Stellenbosch, with a dissertation on the characterization of the inositol trisphosphate receptor of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and its role in handling calcium levels. She continued her research as the Division of Medical Physiology of the Faculty of Medicines and Health and Sciences at Tygerberg Campus of the University of Stellenbosch, where she is currently an emeritus professor. She was also a Chief Specialist at the SA-MRC Biomedical, Research and innovation Platform until 31 December 2018. Her preclinical research had 2 main focus areas, namely (1) my myocardial insulin signaling in obesity, type 2 diabetes and hypertension and (2) pharmacological or nutraceutical interventions and treatment options to protect and improve pathology. Huisamen has published 67 peer- reviewed articles on cardiometabolic diseases and cardioprotection, which drew about 2000 citations from peers. She has presented her work at more than 70 international conferences, also as an invited speaker, and at more than 150 national meetings. She holds various patents on the use of nutraceuticals as treatment options in disease states. Huisamen has a keen interest in training young scientists and has graduated 48 MSc and Phd students in her career to date. T/Dr Johan Huisamen, Prof. Huisamen's son obtained his BSc.Alt-med in 2017 and continued his studies by doing research on different combinations of nutraceuticals in order to get the best optimal result for people who dearly need it. As a result Botany Health was spawned. T/Dr Johan Huisamen, and his mother Prof. Huisamen now actively work together to create new medicines to ensure the correct combinations and dosages of the right compounds are used to ensure real science based natural medicine that has been verified to have pharmacological activity against disease and illness.
