Good Manufacturing Practices

We take quality seriously, and that's why we are voluntary members of NSF International and follow Good Manufacturing Practices to ensure that our procedures are the best they can be.

Quality Testing

Our quality testing includes, but is not limited to:

• Purity (HPLC): testing raw ingredients before manufacturing to make sure that they are pure; we compare to a standard with a known concentration
• Potency (HPLC): testing finished products to ensure they meet label claims
• Identity (HPLC, FTIR or HPTLC): testing all raw ingredients; the HPTLC is for botanicals only while all other ingredients are tested through HPLC or FTIR
• Microbiology (Biolumix): testing all raw ingredients and finished products for aerobic bacterial count, yeast and mold, Salmonella, E. coli and more
• Heavy Metals & Metal Assays (ICP-MS): testing includes lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic and more done on all raw ingredients and finished products, plus minerals such as magnesium, calcium and more.

PURITY & POTENCY

By following strict guidelines, we ensure our products are carefully and rigorously tested for both purity and potency.

Third-Party Testing

These labs are ISO 17025 Certified. ISO/IEC 17025 is the standard accreditation most labs must hold in order to be deemed technically competent. Laboratories use ISO/IEC 17025 to implement a quality system aimed at improving their ability to consistently produce valid results.

Industry Regulations (FDA & FTC)

Swanson complies with both Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines. These ensure that consumers can trust the label information and safety of all our products. Virtually all facets of supplement manufacturing, labeling and marketing are covered by extensive regulations issued and enforced by the FDA and FTC.
