Nigel Pollard is a Biochemist and started in the health industry in 1987, first with “big pharma” and in the last 21 years in natural medicines. While living in Germany in the 90’s, Nigel became convinced of the value of natural health products following a doctor prescription for a clinically proven natural health product. Initially a sceptic of the evidence for natural health products, following an extensive literature review he became a strong believer in the value of specific natural health products to treat chronic diseases. As a result of this, in 2001 Nigel established Flordis Natural Medicines to market natural health products with specific clinical evidence. Now called Soho Flordis International it is the only global Australian natural health company, with 4 manufacturing plants in 3 continents, sales in 55+ countries and an unrivalled recent record of investing in 12 clinical trials on specific products.

Having retired as CEO of Soho Flordis International in 2019, Nigel is a passionate advocate of informed choice based on the best scientific evidence. He Chairs the New York Natural Health Science Foundation Inc. (NFP), which set standards and provide education concerning scientific evidence and natural health products. He has a strong conviction that natural health options, with specific evidence of reliability and efficacy, should be considered as mainstream health solutions for patients and health professionals. In April 2021, together with leading researchers, Nigel established the consulting firm Metavate Consulting with a Vision to assist industry to improve the health of millions of people by translating leading edge science into commercially successful, evidence-based natural health solutions.
