Shuster Labs Launches Certification Program

BOSTON--Shuster Laboratories Inc. launched its "Seal of Quality"certification program in April. The program investigates purity, potency and overallproduct quality. The "Seal of Quality" certifies that both the manufacturer andits individual products meet Shuster's testing requirements.

Shuster first ensures the manufacturer is meeting cGMP regulations by auditing where anindividual product is manufactured, warehoused, packaged and tested. It then purchasesthose products at the retail level and conducts analytical, microbiological, physical andsensory tests. Potency, bioavailability, weight variability, microbial limits, productworkmanship, package workmanship, labeling and net contents are all considered. Shuster isonline at www.shusterlabs.com.
