Some supplement
manufacturers hire independent laboratories to verify what
their products
contain. This is the only way to know for certain
what is in a
supplement.
To the greatest extent possible, our dispensary carries
products
that have been authenticated
by an independent laboratory.
Listed
below are some of the benchmarks that we look for in a lab
assessment
of a dietary supplement.
.
No microbial contamination - bacteria, yeast, or mould.
.
No heavy metals - lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic or aluminium.
.
Free of chemical solvent residue, pesticides and herbicides.
.
Label claim potency - the product contains what the label claims.
.
Stability - the product maintains potency until the expiration date.
.
No dioxins, mercury, or PCBs in fish oil products. |
