Does ingredient quality really matter? Is one company's formulas the same as another's? Can this affect health outcomes?

All Nutritional Products are Not Alike

When faced with so many options, it can be tempting to make a selection based solely on price. But before you do, take note: all nutritional products are not alike—no matter what their packaging says. For example, while 2 products claim to be the same, their quality can differ widely based on ingredient source, processing method, storage and handling, and synergistic activity (the interaction of 2 or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects).

Only the Best. Only from Metagenics.

In selecting what goes into our nutraceuticals and medical foods, we take extra care in choosing only the finest natural ingredients—in optimal concentrations and tested for contamination.

Consequently,

• Our testing includes identity and potency of active ingredients
• We test for pesticides, heavy metals, microbiology, moisture, hardness and friability of tablets, disintegration, odor, and taste, among other more specialized testing
• Our fish oil formulas use only purity-certified essential fatty acids from cold water fish
• We use only purity-certified microcrystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate (MCHC), a highly bioavailable form of calcium
• The glucosamine sulfate in our formulas is always purity-assayed for maximum effectiveness
• Herbs and other botanicals are selected and tested using our proprietary MetaBotanica® Method
• Our probiotic formulas contain only third-party identity-certified strains to ensure targeted health benefits

Making a high quality product means ensuring only the purest and safest ingredients. Without this assurance, you don't know what you're getting.
