We’re taking our high quality standards even higher
From elevated brand standards and third-party testing to rigorous storage and shipping practices, we’re taking an even more proactive and comprehensive approach to quality — so you can deliver patient care more confidently.
Emerson Ecologics requires third-party cGMP certification from every brand partner – every single year.
Before brands earn your trust, they earn ours
Our clinical team vets every brand in our product catalog, and our quality experts maintain 1:1 relationships with suppliers. We keep a close eye on regulatory compliance and adverse event reporting, and make sure they renew their third-party cGMP certification annually — a standard unmatched in the industry.
Enhancing our testing. And your trust.
We don’t stop with rigorous brand standards. As an added layer of assurance, select products from popular or problematic categories are subjected to enhanced testing by independent third-party labs to confirm potency and purity claims, giving you more trust in the products you recommend.
Selection criteria
Individual products are chosen based on identified industry concerns, clinical relevance, provider demand, sales volume, delivery format, and educational needs.
Test methodology
Selected products undergo spot testing, picked from our inventory, and shipped directly to lab partners to guarantee accurate and unbiased sampling. Our Medical Advisory Team coordinates with third-party labs to align on appropriate testing methods.
Badge review
Only products meeting or exceeding 100% of potency – and when applicable meeting USP purity claims – earn the “Tested” badge, reviewed by medically-trained quality experts and our Medical Advisory Board.
The highest quality standards, from our shelves to yours
Our NSF-certified distribution centers specialize in maintaining the purity and potency of products during storage and shipping. From using ice packs in heat-sensitive shipments to managing recalls quickly and efficiently, our expert teams make sure the products you receive are of the highest quality and effectiveness.
Frequently asked questions
Why did you change the Emerson Quality Program?
We’re always evolving our quality standards so providers have access to the best selection of high-quality supplements.
Our new program elevates the standards we have for our brands and their products, as well as adding rigor and visibility to product testing.
Are the Gold and Silver brands under the Emerson Quality Program (EQP) considered Enhanced Tested by default?
No. While EQP evaluated quality at a Brand Level, Enhanced testing adds Product-level quality through spot testing. The EQP sought cGMP certification or compliance with good manufacturing practices. Our new program makes third party cGMP certification mandatory for all brands, and also performs enhanced testing on select SKUs based on industry concerns, clinical relevance, provider demand, sales volume, delivery format, and educational needs.
This elevates our quality standards for all brands, and guarantees that each is cGMP certified whether or not its products have a “Tested” badge.
How does a supplement qualify for a Tested badge?
Supplements are tested based on industry concerns, clinical relevance, provider demand, sales volume, delivery format, and educational needs. Brands do not pay for inclusion, ensuring that our decisions are clinically focused and unbiased.
What types of tests do you conduct?
We conduct comprehensive third-party tests to validate for potency and/or purity claims with criteria guided by our clinical advisory team’s assessment of industry and clinical relevance.
How can I identify products that have been Enhanced Tested?
Look for the “Enhanced Tested” badge next to eligible products in the catalog.
You can also filter your search results by selecting “Enhanced Testing” under the product filters menu.
Do brands or products pay to be included in Enhanced Testing?
No. Brands cannot pay for inclusion in Enhanced Testing or to receive an “Enhanced Testing” badge.
