Scientific Advisory Board
We formulate our supplements with the guidance of some of the most experienced and well-trained cardiovascular physicians in the United States. Libertas’ Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is composed of physicians with whom our leadership team has worked for several years, and represents specific disciplines involved in the daily diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease. The SAB provides our management team with both a thorough understanding of cardiovascular physiology and clinical expertise during the exploration and discovery phases of supplement formula development. This team also offers sound clinical judgment that allows us to design, study, and follow the clinical results achieved from our supplements.
