Professor Nash has a strong academic background in identification and bioactivity of herbal medicine novel active components with over 200 publications and patents. He started his career working at Kew Gardens working on anti-HIV agents that affected the surface sugars of viruses funded by the Medical Research Council. Robert went on to focus on the importance of sugars in cancer, immune responses and in many other disorders such as diabetes. He has a strong interest in improved disease prevention and complimentary medicine as well as new therapeutic agents. Years of work on medicinal plants and health-promoting foods by him and his team has identified many new iminosugar compounds helping to maintain a ‘glyco-balance’ and this work has led to the product range from DrNashGlycoHealth. New pharmaceutical compounds with novel targets are also being developed from this research. Robert was awarded the 1st Pierre Fabre Prize by the Phytochemical Society of Europe in 2001 for his work on iminosugars.

  My company uses science to discover new health promoting natural ingredients and compounds from herbal medicines and food plants.Our work focuses on the development of new and better pharmaceutical medicines based on natural iminosugars for inflammatory disorders, diabetes and cancer.We have found a special honey rich in a small and unusual molecule with very specific activity that appears to boost immunity and activate natural anti-tumour responses in the laboratory.The honey compound, or iminosugar, is sourced from a variety of a Mediterranean plant that only grows in the mild wet conditions of west Wales and Ireland. The compound has been fully identified and extensively studied with worldwide patents.Iminosugars are a widespread group of plant and microbial compounds that are attracting interest as therapeutic agents. They have many activities beneficial to health but due to difficulties with their identification and isolation most have remained un-investigated.We have been providing our IminoHoney to dog owners around the world to maintain or improve the quality of life. A number of vets have trialled the product, which costs £59.99 for a pack of ten sachets, with impressive results.The next stage is to begin using the confidence in efficacy and other information obtained to plan the development of new medicines for humans. Science is the key to our product range. Sugars or carbohydrates are vital to health in many ways and faults in sugar biochemistry occur in most diseases and in ageing.As animals age they typically have weaker immune responses which makes them more prone to various infections and diseases and for cancerous cells to take hold.We’re seeing that iminosugars have the remarkable ability to correct many of these errors and to restore a youthful balance.We are producing a range of products derived from our iminosugar research including a product launching in America for osteo-arthritis and a European product for diabetes.
