About

The Sunlight Experiment publishes evidence-based research on herbal medicine, nutrition, and nootropics. Our database contains hundreds of medicinal herb species with current research and practical information on how each plant can be used to support health.

The project began as a personal study log and has grown into a reference library of herbal monographs, each covering a plant’s traditional use, botany, pharmacology, active constituents, dosage, and safety — with the research cited throughout.

Who writes this

Monographs and articles are written by Justin Cooke, BHSc — a practicing herbalist with a background in health science. Every claim is tied back to the primary literature, not folklore or marketing copy.
