Dietary Supplements
Dietary (nutritional) supplement—also known as nutraceuticals—manufacturing has become a very complicated process. From multiple countries of origin, today’s supplement ingredients are sourced from manufacturers across the globe. This leads to vulnerabilities in the supply chain and can lead to unintended adulterations to the finished products as defined in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
Testing supplement ingredients for quality and purity by established documentary standards, such as the USP-NF and FCC, help manufacturers, suppliers and regulators protect the quality of their ingredients. Utilizing authenticated Reference Standards in the process, R.D. Laboratories applies these testing specifications to help ensure the quality and purity for dietary supplements, finished products and dietary ingredients.
R.D. Laboratories partners with supplement manufacturers and ingredient suppliers to provide quality testing services for the nutraceutical industry.
