04.17.24

Witholytin is Verdure Sciences' second ingredient to receive the third-party verification for GMPs, lab testing, and more.

Verdure Sciences’ Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) extract, Witholytin, achieved USP Verified certification.
 
USP Ingredient Verification helps ingredient manufacturers ensure quality and reduce risk, while providing them with a way to differentiate ingredients. The third-party verification program tests ingredients, audits manufacturing and quality control practices, and reviews documentation before the manufacturer earns the use of the USP Verified mark.
 
“USP is proud to recognize Verdure Sciences’ successful completion of the Ingredient Verification Program,” said Edward Wyszumiala, director of market development, and verification programs at USP. “This accomplishment demonstrates the distinguished quality of Verdure Sciences and Witholytin Withania somnifera extract and its manufacturing processes, and also allows manufacturers of finished products to easily identify Verdure Sciences as providing quality ingredients they can trust.”
 
Verdure Sciences pursued USP’s rigorous ingredient verification program to bring added value and confidence to customers, said Bhaumik Darji, quality assurance manager. “USP’s dietary ingredient verification program consists of extensive GMP facility audits, ingredient quality control and manufacturing process evaluations, and laboratory testing of the ingredients for full compliance to its specifications.
 
“Our aim is to offer our customers the finest ingredients possible, and this program is a testament to that commitment,” Darji continued. “In addition, it helps us to stand out from other ingredients in the market and expand our outreach worldwide.”
 
Verdure Sciences is also listed on USP’s website, which serves as a resource for finished product manufacturers to identify ingredient suppliers who’ve earned the right to use the USP Verified mark. This is the second ingredient in Verdure’s portfolio to become USP verified.
