How can I tell if a supplement is high quality?Updated 3 hours ago

Quality is important when it comes to selecting a supplement.  A high-quality supplement starts with carefully selected ingredients and includes quality controls throughout formulation, manufacturing and finished-product testing.

Consider whether the brand:

• Qualifies its manufacturing suppliers and reviews their allergen-control and quality practices

• Evaluates the ingredient identity, purity, and safety 

• Uses ingredient forms and amounts supported by relevant scientific research

• Manufactures in facilities that follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs)

• Tests finished products to evaluate potency, composition and label accuracy

• Screens for microbiological contaminants 

• Continues monitoring product quality and consumer feedback after launch

At Ancient Nutrition, quality is built into every stage of product development—from  ingredient vetting through scientific review, formulation, manufacturing and finished-product testing. Our multi-stage testing includes raw-material identity testing and finished-product testing for potency, composition and microbiological quality. Every lot is tested at an ISO-accredited third-party laboratory, and we review the Certificate of Analysis against our product specifications before a finished product is released. Products also undergo ongoing review after launch, including the monitoring of quality data and consumer complaints.
