Peter Josling is Director of the Sussex based Herbal Research Centre. He is a trained biochemist graduating from Nottingham University in England and he gained a PhD in natural medicine in 2005 from Redding University. He has had over 25 years experience in the International Health Food arena devoting his time to conducting and publishing clinical studies and writing scientific articles on a wide variety of natural products including garlic, ginger, ginkgo biloba, phosphatidyl serine, hypericum, saw palmetto, cellulose (first published), vitamin C, black elderberry, magnesium (first published) and allicin (first published).

Simultaneously he set up Allicin International Limited in 2000 and brought to market the first stabilised allicin extract from fresh garlic stocked in Boots and many independent Healthfood Retailers. This brand Allimax/Allicinmax was quickly adopted in 5 international markets in the first year after launch utilising Peters contacts. The business grew to a turnover in excess of £2 million per annum until Peter sold his minority shareholding in 2020. Many research projects were completed under Peters supervision including the now gold standard double blind evaluation on preventing and treating the common cold.

Peter has recently set up Dr Garlic Limited and launched his own stabilised garlic and allicin extract known as Allicin EXTRA. This extract is free from maltodextrin and other fillers as it is air dried and shows superior biological activity to existing stabilised extracts.

Previously Peter spent a number of years in the pharmaceutical industry and also in medical publishing. He published the first data on the use of garlic extracts for reducing cholesterol and blood pressure.
