DNA - it helps sell water.

Fenestra Research Labs is a California company that specialises in clinical trials for alternative medicine practitioners and "nutritional" products. It is apparently owned, run and cleaned by Dr. Melonie Montgomery. The company was founded in 2003 with the launch of a proprietary technology "The Optimal Wellness Test" (OWT) which is claimed "to identify and measure 34 clinical markers in human physiology to a very high degree of accuracy, and conclude the level of “wellness” exhibited by individual clients with specific recommendations for improving areas of concern".

Fenestra Research Labs offers a range of services to our clients including: Clinical Trials, Product Formulation, Product Development, Product testing and more. Contact us to see how we can help YOU.

At about $30,000[1] per trial Ms. Montgomery could be on a nice little earner from just a few commissions per year. However, the claim on the company's logo that it is "The World Leader In Clinical Trials" is surely pushing the bounds of credulity.
