We handpick each ingredient for its bioavailability. We choose the most bioavailable form that is best for absorption. We look at how ingredients work together. We spend a lot of time and research to determine which delivery form will be the best for a particular product.
It can get complicated: some ingredients are quite bulky and may not do well in a capsule. Some may have an odor or an aftertaste when you swallow. Some minerals block other vitamins from absorbing. Some need a delayed-release system.
The end result is that we choose the very best delivery system for a product. Yes, in our ideal world, we would make everything fit into a tiny capsule and you could take one and be done. But the technology isn’t available yet to give you everything we want to give you in that tiny capsule. Your nutrition would not be complete. Until that time, we thoughtfully balance size, form, convenience, ability, and taste for every product we make.
What is on the label is what is in your bottle. That means all of our products are meticulously created, tested multiple times, and held up to strict standards. If they don’t meet these requirements, they don’t make it to your home.
All of our products are meticulously created, tested multiple times, and held to strict cGMP standards for manufacturing, packaging, and labeling. We source the highest-quality non-GMO ingredients and handcraft each batch under strict standards for purity and freshness in certified facilities in the U.S.A. We have comprehensive third-party testing at both ingredient and finished product levels for product ingredients, purity, microbes, heavy metals, and more. All raw materials and finished products have written specifications that must be met before being released. This includes limits of quantification, or LOQs, for heavy metal testing. Very few manufacturers do this much testing, but to us, it is important.
In addition to the essentials–such as weight, size, and hardness–every tablet is run through disintegration testing. This mimics the body’s temperature, acidity, and movement to verify the tablet will break down appropriately for nutrient absorption.
This testing, once again, includes nutrient-content testing, a microbiology panel, heavy metals testing, and gluten testing.
