Organic Certification for Dietary Supplement Manufacturers and Distributors

One area of the dietary supplement industry that has gained a lot of press in recent months is organic certification. As an especially health conscious group, more and more consumers demand organic alternatives and choices for their dietary supplements. In response, many dietary supplement manufacturers have taken the steps to receive organic certification.

Although the method by which products are produced is extremely important, one main feature of organic certification is using organic dietary supplement ingredients. However, it is more difficult than many would think to obtain high-quality organic ingredients. Not only must these ingredients be the correct species and made from the correct part of that species, but the methods used to harvest, transport, and treat them must meet organic standards.

Organic certification is also an ongoing process that requires regular audits rather than a one-time certification. For example, a manufacturer that is certified must allow full access to inspectors at any time. These inspectors may drop in unannounced to examine the quality of the organic ingredients as well as the machinery and processes used to manufacture products. In order to keep organic certification, the manufacturer must meet all standards.
