Ensuring Purity & Compliance: The Role of Testing of Vitamins, Minerals & Microbiology
Vitamins and minerals are important for healthy functioning of the body. However, today’s lifestyle does not always allow people to get a diet rich in these essential nutrients, thus, leading to deficiencies. Vitamin and mineral supplements come to the rescue in such a situation. However, in a world tainted with fake products and services, testing of vitamins and minerals becomes an essential task.
Testing of vitamins and minerals
Testing of supplements is an important step for pharmaceuticals who want to deliver high standard supplements to their consumers. It is vital to get associated with certified laboratories for testing of minerals and vitamins.
Reputable names like Glarc provide comprehensive testing solutions, which include quality checks, testing for contaminants, microbiology analysis, testing the formulations, regulatory compliance testing, and so on. These tests help pharmacies meet the regulatory standards and the consumer demand for high-quality vitamin and mineral supplements.
A few more steps that are included in the testing of minerals and vitamins are:
- Sensory evaluation
- Stability studies to detect how stable the formulation is under particular temperature conditions and to know its expiration date
- Testing for potency and purity of the formulation
- Screening for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, aflatoxin, and other adulterants
- Reviewing the labels
Testing of microbiology analysis
Microbes are all around us. Most of them are harmless, but a few can be dangerous, even fatal. That’s why it is important to conduct microbiology analysis to detect the presence of potentially harmful microbes in vitamins and mineral supplements. This is a vital step in conducting quality assessment program successfully.
Nationally recognized labs like that of Glarc also undergo a thorough evaluation of several kinds of environment that induce storage compatibility for dietary supplements.
In addition to testing of vitamins and minerals, Glarc’s labs also conduct testing of a variety of other products meant for the consumer. These include food and beverages, drinking water, Ayurvedic products, and more. Apart from this, Glarc conducts sampling and inspection, certification related testing, nutrition labeling, adulteration testing, routine commercial testing, and more.
