Every batch of herbs is tested before, during and after processing. All these raw material and herbal products comply with the new stringent Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Tests for moisture content, dissolution, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium) and microbial content (including bacteria and fungi) are performed on every batch of finished product. When the products arrive in the U.S. they are subject to an additional review by the FDA, ensuring that the products we receive meet every safety standard.
