Understanding product quality

Quality matters. This guide explains how Emerson Ecologics evaluates brands, what catalog badges like Top pick and Enhanced testing mean, and where to find credible details on manufacturing and ingredient sourcing—so patients and providers can choose confidently.

Certifications

Everything you search for on Emerson Ecologics is manufactured to improve patient care. Products on Emerson Ecologics come from vetted manufacturers, stored in compliant facilities, and shipped under controlled conditions.

We encourage brands to undergo third-party certification programs to ensure and further validate product quality. Learn more in Quality Assurance at Emerson Ecologics.

Products that meet third-party certification standards are labeled in the Emerson Ecologics catalog. To browse by certification, use the filters in the catalog.

Enhanced testing and Top pick badges

Enhanced Testing and Top Pick badges are part of our quality program, helping providers find and recommend standout products faster while supporting easier catalog browsing.

Top pick

Top Pick flags one standout product in each category, chosen after reviewing clinical support for ingredients, quality, formulation, value, availability, and ease of staying on plan. Top Pick helps simplify decision-making when choosing a supplement to address patient needs and can help ensure patients stay on their intended plan.

Enhanced testing

Our Enhanced testing designation highlights supplements that meet the highest quality standards. Every product we carry meets rigorous quality standards — but those with an Enhanced testing badge have gone a step further, going straight from our shelves into third-party verification.

Products with the Enhanced testing badge have been pulled directly from our warehouse shelves and independently tested for potency and purity — validating that they meet or exceed label claims. To browse enhanced-tested products, use the filter toggle in the catalog.

This badge doesn’t mean other products aren’t tested — all products we carry meet high-quality sourcing, manufacturing, and regulatory standards. Enhanced testing simply offers an extra level of verification for providers who want more confidence when recommending unfamiliar brands or formulations.

Manufacturing process

Rather than manufacturing supplements ourselves, Emerson Ecologics partners with top brands to provide high-quality products. These brands manufacture their products in facilities adhering to rigorous quality standards. These facilities typically comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) set by regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Ingredient sourcing

The brands we partner with prioritize high-quality ingredients sourced from reputable suppliers. Many of these brands conduct extensive testing and follow strict quality control measures to verify the purity, potency, and safety of their ingredients. Since each brand has its own sourcing and formulation processes, we recommend checking the product label or visiting the manufacturer’s website for specific ingredient details.

How to learn more about a product’s manufacturing and sourcing

If you’re looking for more information about a specific supplement, we encourage you to:

• Review the product description and label available in the Emerson Ecologics catalog.
• Visit the manufacturer’s website for detailed information on their sourcing and production practices.
• Reach out to the brand directly for specific inquiries about ingredient origin and quality assurance.

Storage and shipping controls

All products are stored in compliant facilities and shipped under controlled conditions. We follow manufacturer handling guidelines and use appropriate packaging to help protect product integrity in transit.
