Sid Sudberg, founder, president, and CSO of Alkemist Labs, received the American Herbal Product Association (AHPA)’s Herbal Insight Award at the 2024 AHPA member meeting held in conjunction with Natural Products Expo West.
The award honors individuals or non-commercial organizations that have had a significant impact on furthering the knowledge and understanding of botanicals and their uses. Elan Sudberg, his son and partner at Alkemist Labs and member of the AHPA board, presented the award.
“Sidney Sudberg, L. Ac. D.C., is a natural products scientist with emphasis on the discipline of pharmacognosy, the study of medicinal natural products,” said AHPA in a statement. “After many years as a clinician, Sidney combined his clinical knowledge and experience with his chemistry background to found Alkemist Labs, an independent contract analytical testing and research laboratory highly respected for its botanical testing expertise. Sidney has published several scientific papers on natural products and many articles on lab best practices to educate the herbal products industry, and his many contributions to advancing the science behind the herbal and dietary supplement industries are as numerous as they are impactful.”
“I am honored to have been chosen for the 2024 AHPA Herbal Insight Award,” Sudberg said. “This acknowledgment of my rewarding journey into the world of botanical or plant drug medicine, which began in 1965, is especially meaningful as it is from my AHPA peers, who have been on their own rewarding paths.
