GMP Quality
Make it GMP for me!
Short for Good Manufacturing Practices, GMPs are the guidelines collaborated by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and the Natural Products Association (NPA). The final FDA ruling was June 2007 with full compliance by June
2010, giving the industry time to meet FDA mandates. The FDA is the federal umbrella which supplement regulation falls under. The NPA, founded in 1936, is the nation’s largest and oldest nonprofit organization dedicated to the natural products industry which includes foods, dietary supplements, and health/beauty aids.
