Vital Nutrients formulates and manufactures an extensive line of natural nutritional supplements with an unwavering commitment to delivering proven and verified quality and clinical effectiveness. No corners are cut when it comes to quality assurance at Vital Nutrients. We provide comprehensive proof—and fully guarantee—that our products are prepared in accordance with the highest standards of manufacturing practice and laboratory quality assurance.
To attain laboratory quality assurance, we audit and verify each of our independent laboratories to ensure that they follow scientifically valid analytical methods and ethical lab practices; we carefully research the scientific validity and reliability of laboratory test methods. As a result, the only laboratories that are allowed to test our products are those that use proper reference standards or scientifically valid testing methods.
At Vital Nutrients, we believe that there are two keys to producing consistent clinical benefit and value: excellent raw materials and finished product quality. That’s why we have assembled a team of qualified health professionals to formulate our products. And use only bona fide research—including published human and/or animal-based studies—to test them.
The only laboratories that are allowed to test our products are those that use proper reference standards or scientifically valid testing methods.

At Vital Nutrients, we adhere to the highest standards of quality assurance and manufacturing excellence. We are audited and independently certified for compliance with FDA Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and by the Natural Products Association (NPA). We meet or exceed the FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Practice Guidelines (cGMPs) for nutritional supplements, and we follow detailed written standard operating procedures to ensure consistency and safety in every aspect of our manufacturing process.
In addition to our rigorous Quality Assurance program, Vital Nutrients was the first professional natural product manufacturer to put into place a finished product, expiration date, and stability-testing program. This program provides us with independent laboratory test data points to guarantee that our products meet 100% of label claim and validates our published expiration date.
