Ingredient Testing
 

Vitamin C

Ascorbic acid

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.

Vitamin C

Nature’s Way tests every batch of ascorbic acid to ensure that you receive the amount of vitamin C promised on the label.

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.

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.

 

Zinc

Zinc gluconate

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.

Zinc

Nature’s Way tests the potency of every batch of raw material to ensure that you receive the amount of zinc per serving that’s stated on the label.

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.

 

Organic Black Elderberry

Sambucus nigra L.

Extract

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.

Identification

Verifying each botanical genus, species, and plant part ensures your product contains the exact ingredient listed in the Supplement Facts panel. High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) testing provides a detailed chemical fingerprint of the ingredient for comparison against certified botanical reference standards. HPTLC testing is among the best, most reliable methods for authenticating raw materials.

Organic Black Elderberry

The ingredient

Elderberries are amazing!  But not all elderberry extracts, powders, and juice concentrates are created equal, so it’s important to check their source, testing, and production.

The organic elderberries in this standardized extract come from high-altitude European farms and forests, where they grow best. They are picked by hand at their peak ripeness to retain the highest antioxidant anthocyanin concentration.

We test every batch to ensure purity and potency. You can see it in the products’ deep purple color, which comes from naturally occurring antioxidant anthocyanins, not artificial dyes.
