Brand Quality
what matters...quality matters
Before our products get the green light
Quality is the foundation of the Vitamin Shoppe brand's business. bringing customers our high quality products requires many necessary steps; beginning with the initial formulation of an idea, then following through with the generation of a formula, manufacturing and packaging of the product, and ultimately culminating with the product being featured on our retail shelves.
Unsurpassed quality standards
To comply with FDA guidelines the Vitamin Shoppe:
- adheres to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations which outline in detail a structure of uncompromising quality control.
- manufacturers have implemented a system of production and process controls that cover all stages of manufacturing, packaging, labeling and holding of our dietary supplements to ensure quality. has implemented a system of production and process controls that cover all stages of manufacturing, packaging, labeling and holding of our dietary supplements to ensure quality. This requires that specifications be established and monitored to assure that each dietary supplement manufactured meets our expectations.
There is an established specification for each raw material used, and any point, step, or stage in the manufacturing process where control is necessary to ensure quality. For example, each and every batch of raw material used in our products is inspected and analyzed for quality, purity and potency before being given the green light into the manufacturing process.
Personnel's responsibilities
Quality control personnel must ensure that the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and holding operations do not compromise the quality of the dietary supplement and that the dietary supplement is packaged and labeled as specified in the master manufacturing record. This master manufacturing record is unique for each batch size and supplement formulation we develop. This procedure ensures uniformity amongst the finished products.
Watch out for our new label design
We've redesigned our labels into 3 simple segments:
Vitamins & Minerals
Herbs
Specialty (rare or hard to find products)
New easy-to-read, consumer-friendly product details
Laboratory & post production process
Modern laboratory facilities perform the necessary testing to determine whether:
- components used meet specifications of identity, purity, quality, composition and lack of contamination;
- in-process specifications are met as specified in the master manufacturing record; and
- dietary supplements meet final product specifications.
Only appropriate, scientifically valid methods for testing are used, ensuring that all specifications are met in addition to the testing of every final product, we also work closely with ConsumerLab.com through their certification process and we randomly send products to third-party, outside labs for verification of potency and purity. The Vitamin Shoppe was even the first company to introduce a line of sports nutrition products that are all NSF Certified for Sport™ (this testing program identifies substances within a supplement that might be banned by major sports organizations).
