Riboflavin

Tests done on every batch

Manufacturers determine the amount and types of testing done on raw ingredients. Nature’s Way goes above and beyond industry standards with extensive testing on every batch of ingredients before they even go into production.

Riboflavin

Nature’s Way tests the potency of every batch of riboflavin to ensure that you receive the amount of vitamin B2 per serving that’s stated on the label.

Identification

For non-botanical ingredients such as vitamins and minerals, Nature’s Way uses the test method that has been validated for the specific ingredient. Among these methods are Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for complex ingredients.

Microbiological contaminants

Nature’s Way tests every ingredient for microbial contaminants that can break down ingredients, decrease potency, and degrade a product’s quality. Verifying that ingredients meet regulatory standards for microorganisms like bacteria, molds, and yeasts helps ensure a safe and compliant product.

Potency assay

Testing is performed on certain raw materials to measure the potency of a key component. This testing ensures consistency across batches, so you can feel confident that the ingredient matches what’s stated on the label.

Tests performed periodically

Nature’s Way performs additional tests to ensure every supplier’s testing meets federal regulatory and our own high standards. Extra testing is especially critical for monitoring higher-risk botanicals.

Heavy metals

Nature’s Way verifies suppliers' compliance with protective laws like California’s Proposition 65 on a periodic or annual basis. We do this to ensure the raw material meets regulatory standards and won’t expose you to harmful levels of heavy metals, including arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead.

Solvent residue

Trace amounts of solvents used during processes such as ingredient extraction may remain in the raw materials. Performing USP <467> screening ensures that residual solvents are within safe, regulated limits. Testing every lot of the ingredient ensures it is processed according to Good Manufacturing Practices.
