The NutraStrong™ Certification, available to all categories of the food, dietary supplement and/or natural health product industry, sets a baseline of quality and testing to ensure the market is providing customers with quality products.

It is an industry spanning program that classifies products with relevant and specific standards for each product category. This program is designed to gatekeep against companies with misleading claims, inaccurate or false Certificate of Analyses (COAs), and prevent these products from being sold side by side with premium brands.

Today’s consumers demand proof of quality and evidence of trust. NutraStrong™ certification gives your brand the credibility to meet those expectations.

Once certified, your products are listed on our Certifications by Nutrasource site, gaining exposure to global consumers, health professionals, and retailers actively seeking verified, trustworthy products.

We also support certified partners with promotional opportunities such as social media spotlights, brand features, and marketing collaborations.

The Four Pillars of NutraStrong™

Testing Standards

All products will be reviewed for adequate test results. To suit your needs, we provide several testing options with varying levels of surveillance. If you have a COA available, we will conduct a per-lot review to verify results and ensure consistent compliance with industry standards. Should you require testing, you may submit samples and we will arrange for all testing parameters to be met and provide a detailed test report.

If testing standards are not met, our in-house experts will work with you to resolve any issues through a General Consulting Services Agreement.

Label Compliance

Initial label overview and regulatory compliance sign-off sheet. Included in this checklist is:

1. Label review against the specification sheet demonstrating consistency of dose and source material(s).
2. Allergen and certification claim review.
3. Allergen and certification claim testing (as needed).

To ensure ongoing compliance, we will follow up with an annual review form to confirm whether any changes have been made to the label.

Manufacturing Practices

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) or equivalent certification held on file and verified on program initiation and annually. Clients will submit proof of current manufacturing compliance such as GMP, HACCP, ISO, NSF, USP or other quality marks the client wishes to position to demonstrate supply chain quality and integrity. Our staff will review and confirm all data provided is current and in good standing and will incorporate these listings into this product report section.

Corporate Values

Multiple avenues to showcase and highlight corporate stewardship / causes that are supported. This includes other certification programs and charitable works. Clients may provide the following types of certification or program marks for incorporation into the product report by Nutrasource staff:

1. Eco Sustainability - Any certification or related standard that demonstrates ecological sustainability, assistance to the environment, curbing pollution, sustainable agricultural or aquacultural practices, or any other activity that benefits a natural ecosystem or environment.
2. Cause Marketing - Any cause the client embraces for the betterment of humans and / or animals. This cause can be localized, regional or global in nature.

Please note that Nutrasource reserves the right, due to legal, ethical, or corporate values consideration, to refrain from posting certain third-party corporate values marks.
