Dietary Supplement Testing Program

Dietary supplements and other natural, nutritional foods are among the safest consumer products. The Natural Products Foundation's product testing program is designed to demonstrate that the industry is committed to quality through this newly established initiative.

How the program works:

• Approximately 15 products will be tested per month. These products will include some of the most popular consumer brands, including vitamins and minerals, nutrition bars and sports beverages.
  
  
• Products are tested according to the label claim using the most scientifically relevant standards. What's on the label should be in the product, nothing more, nothing less.
  
  
• Products are purchased through retail stores, not provided by the manufacturer or distributor.
  
  
• Testing results are peer-reviewed by industry scientific experts.
  
  
• All results will be published on this Web site. The program is completely transparent.
