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 Drug 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.

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.

Heavy metals

Every ingredient is tested to meet regulatory standards for heavy metals, including arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead. Testing for trace metal levels ensures ingredients comply with protective laws like California’s Proposition 65, and that the supplement won’t expose you to harmful levels of chemicals.

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.

Pelargonium sidoides 1X

The ingredient

Pelargonium sidoides  1X is a clinically proven homeopathic active ingredient derived from South African geranium. Proven effective in 20 studies over 30 years, it is one of the most clinically researched herbally derived homeopathic ingredients for the treatment of colds and coughs worldwide.  Pelargonium sidoides 1X has been shown in multiple studies to reduce the severity and shorten the duration of upper respiratory symptoms such as cough, congestion, and sore throat (in adults and kids as young as one year old).

Our Pelargonium sidoides root is sourced from its native lands in South Africa, where people have long used the roots for respiratory and digestive relief. Out of 300 geranium species in the area, only one meets our standards.
