QUALITY

PhytoVedic products meet or exceed the Canadian Natural Health Product Directorate’s (NHPD) high standards for quality (potency, purity and safety). PhytoVedic Ayurvedic medicines are the purest and most potent plant-derived Ayurvedic remedies available to Canadian health professionals.

We accomplish these high standards because of our raw material quality and our rigorous quality assurance program.

Raw Material Quality

We adhere to the quality standards of the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India for all of our raw materials by analyzing each and every herb for identity and purity using the most analytical tests (detailed information available upon request).

Quality Assurance Program

PhytoVedic formulas guarantee purity through rigorous physical, chemical and biological testing.

Physical testing includes analysis of:

  • Moisture content
  • Foreign organic matter
  • Ash values
  • Extractive values are used as criterion for purity of botanical.

Phytochemical Screening and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) quantitatively and qualitatively analyzes all raw materials for the presence of:

  • Heavy metals
  • Pesticide residues
  • Active ingredients

Toxicological, pharmacological and microbiological testing analyzes raw materials and finished formulas for the presence of active compounds and the absence of microorganisms (aerobes, yeasts, molds and specific bacteria such as E. coli)
