About Us
-
QUALITY
We only purchase raw herbal ingredients from reputable manufacturers.
SOURCING OF INGREDIENTS
Our supplier’s comprehensive and diverse sourcing program consists of a team of botanists and product specialists that travel the world looking for the best raw materials to produce their high quality ingredients. They actively verify the reliability of their partners through stringent quality practices and work closely with growers and pickers to ensure optimal yield and guarantee a high quality extract at the end of the process. Our supplier meticulously examines each batch of raw material while in the field macroscopically, and in their certified state-of- the-art laboratory for identity, potency, and purity.

RESEARCH
We use ingredients that are shown to be effective in scientific studies and oppose the use of genetically engineered products and raw materials that are contaminated with pesticide residues, heavy metals and/or other contaminants.
HERBALINK™ Botanical Identification Chain of Custody Program
As a testament to our never-ending commitment to customer satisfaction, and to ease customer concerns about the integrity of our products, our supplier has initiated the HerbaLink™ program..
HerbaLink™, a unique chain-of-custody program, offers ultimate transparency in product identification and traceability. The program not only assures best practices in identifying sustainable and socially conscious sources, but also the implementation of stringent testing methods that include DNA, HPTLC and HPLC throughout the processing and preparation of the finished product — documenting every link of the product’s journey from harvest to packaging.
