Prior to 1940s most of pharmaceuticals consisted of plant-based products, and this turning point in the worldwide pharmaceutical industry coincides with a willingness – even urgency – to look back upon plants in their natural essence as a basis for medicinal products. The use of plant-derived drugs has become more widespread, so there is a great need to develop an up-to-date base of referenceable plant specific information about botanicals demonstrating medicinal value.

Vitreon America™ went to the source, James A. Duke, PhD. Dr. Duke passed in 2017 but he was an American botanist, known for his numerous publications on botanical medicine. He developed the Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases at the USDA. Since his retirement in 1995, Dr. Duke and his team of botanical experts and database managers have painstakingly built the largest series of databases on botanicals ever assembled in the World. Vitreon America™ has partnered with Dr. Duke and his company to reformat and upgrade his processes and buildout enhanced cross-referencing capabilities, enabling continuous updating, and to provide access to this new product as a service. We call this new database service the Vitreon America Botanicopeia™.

The Botanicopeia’s database includes 7,700+ entries with detailed information including:

• Common Names
• Phytochemicals
