At OwlCore Wellness Research Group, we believe that true wellness begins with independent research and transparent supplement reviews.
Our mission is to cut through marketing noise, validating nutraceuticals with science and ancestral wisdom — so you can trust every insight we deliver.
We bridge modern evidence and ancestral plant knowledge, transforming complex data into clear, accessible guidance. Every supplement review and research insight carries our seal of independence, rigor, and integrity — empowering you to make confident, informed choices for lasting wellness.
If the body speaks in silence, we are the voice that listens.
We don’t sell quick fixes or empty promises—we honor stories rooted in nature and validated by science.
Our commitment is to conduct independent research and publish supplement reviews that are unbiased, transparent, and accessible. Where science meets plant wisdom, we offer guidance that respects both tradition and modern evidence.
Our mission is simple yet transformative:
To conduct independent research that sheds light on safe, effective, and science-backed natural health solutions.
To publish supplement reviews that are honest, evidence-based, and free from commercial bias.
To bridge ancestral plant knowledge and modern scientific validation, empowering you with knowledge, not hype.
Every word we publish and every review we share is designed to help you make informed, confident choices—guided by data, transparency, and care.
At OwlCore, our work in independent research and supplement reviews is guided by principles that never shift with trends:
Respect for Nature — every discovery begins with honoring plants and ecosystems.
Science First — evidence drives every conclusion, not marketing agendas.
Transparency & Integrity — open about data, methods, and conflicts of interest.
Education Over Hype — empowering people with facts, not fear.
Sustainability — wellness is only real when it includes the planet.
Empathy & Human Connection — we listen to what symptoms silently reveal.
These values ensure that our supplement reviews remain unbiased and that our independent research serves people—not commerce.
Our independence is only as strong as the people who uphold it. That’s why our team brings together medical doctors, pharmacologists, ethnobotanists, and nutrition scientists who review every claim and every plant.
James Whitaker, PhD (“Dr. Owl”) — Founder & Chief Scientific Director
Former NIH researcher, systems thinker, and advocate for science with integrity.
Eleanor Harper, MD — Medical Director, Functional Medicine
Oversees clinical validation, ensuring that every supplement review and research article is safe, accurate, and medically sound.
Samuel Rivera, PhD — Ethnobotanist & Medical Anthropologist

Ava Lin, PharmD, PhD — Botanical Pharmacologist
Analyzes compounds, interactions, and safety profiles of natural formulas.
…and other experts ensuring that every independent research project and supplement review meets the highest standards of credibility.
By showing faces, credentials, and signatures, we demonstrate what independent truly means: people over profit, science over sales.
At OwlCore, independence means freedom from commercial bias. Our methodology ensures that every piece of research and every supplement review is guided by data, not by industry pressure.
Step 1 – Evidence Scoping
We scan peer-reviewed journals, clinical trials, and ethnobotanical records to map the current state of knowledge.
Step 2 – Mechanism Mapping
Our pharmacologists and neuroscientists identify how specific botanicals or nutrients interact with the body’s systems.
Step 3 – Formula Logic & Safety Review
We model synergies, check potential contraindications, and validate dosing ranges.
Step 4 – Clinical Oversight
Every supplement review and research finding is verified by medical doctors, ensuring it aligns with clinical practice and safety guidelines.
Step 5 – Transparent Translation
Our editors transform complex data into accessible, plain-English guidance—always disclosing limitations and conflicts of interest.
Step 6 – Continuous Updates
Science evolves. We update reviews and research summaries as new evidence emerges, ensuring accuracy and relevance.
“We scan peer-reviewed journals, clinical trials, and public health resources such as the World Health Organization to map the state of knowledge.”
Most supplement content online is written by marketers—not scientists. That’s why our approach is different:
Independent Research: Conducted without sponsorship from supplement brands.
Transparent Supplement Reviews: Built on evidence.
Accessible Knowledge: We explain both what works and what doesn’t.
Our independence means our readers can trust that every claim is backed by evidence—not hype.
OwlCore Wellness began with a simple conviction: too many people live with “normal” symptoms that aren’t normal.
Our founder, Dr. James Whitaker (“Dr. Owl”), saw how often patients were left without answers in conventional systems. He built a research group where independent science and ancestral wisdom could work together—listening first, then validating.
From sleepless nights to chronic fatigue, every symptom tells a story. Our role is to honor those stories with independent research and transform them into transparent supplement reviews that guide people toward safer, evidence-based solutions.
All research methods are disclosed.
Every supplement review includes references and citations.
Conflicts of interest are clearly stated.
Updates are published as new science emerges.
Our independent research isn’t just about data—it’s about integrity. We never accept funding from supplement brands to influence outcomes. This way, you can trust that every conclusion we share is unbiased, transparent, and science-first.
“All supplement reviews cite primary research indexed in PubMed, ensuring every claim is traceable to peer-reviewed science.”
Q1. What does “independent research” mean at OwlCore?
It means we conduct investigations without influence from supplement companies. Our findings are driven only by data, science, and ethics.
Q2. Are your supplement reviews truly unbiased?
Yes. Every review is evidence-based, peer-reviewed by our team, and independent of commercial partnerships.
Q3. How do you validate the supplements you review?
We evaluate peer-reviewed studies, check safety data, analyze bioactive compounds, and validate findings through clinical oversight. “We cross-check findings with resources from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements to confirm accuracy and safety.”
Q4. Why should I trust your independent research?
Because it’s guided by medical doctors, pharmacologists, and ethnobotanists—not by advertisers or brand sponsorships.
Q5. Do you recommend products?
We may suggest evidence-aligned options, but only with full transparency. Our role is guidance, not sales.
