DR Healthcare subscribe agreements with universities and scientific societies
DR Healthcare scientists play a key role in all phases of the research and development process, from the start of a new program of research to the sanitary registration of a new nutraceutical product.
Our team works using the most advanced technologies to meet the underlying mechanisms of each pathology associated with the DAO deficiency. This knowledge is applied in the identification, design and testing of new nutraceutical products with therapeutic potential and new diagnostic clinical tests.
