Solgar Vitamins and Minerals.
At Solgar, quality has always been their guiding principle. From ingredients to manufacturing to packaging, quality is what they're most known for and that is why we stock their products.
They produce their products according to the strictest standards - standards that, in many cases, are much more stringent than the government requires.
They insist that their products pass uncompromising quality control tests. For example, Formula VM-75, the leading multivitamin in their industry, must pass over a hundred tests before it meets their approval.
To ensure that we start with the best possible raw materials, they use the rigorous "square root" method to sample their natural ingredients - a stringent pharmaceutical technique that's rarely used in the vitamin industry.
To ensure maximum potency, they weigh their products to standards more than twice as stringent as the government requires.
For the highest possible purity, they prepare their products in isolated rooms instead of the common practice of manufacturing in one open space.
Even their packaging is of the highest possible quality. They use recyclable amber-glass bottles to maintain the potency of their nutrients. They don't use plastic bottles or Styrofoam cushioning, so their packaging is better for the environment, too.
And since high-quality nutritional supplements shouldn't cause allergic reactions, they strive to eliminate as many allergens from their formulas as possible. Almost all Solgar products are free from sugar, salt, starch, yeast, corn, soy, wheat, gluten and dairy products and contain no preservatives, artificial flavors or colors.
