Amway Details Nutrilite Product Quality Assurance Through Testing

Amway, a direct-selling company, has detailed its processes for ensuring the quality of its Nutrilite brand dietary supplements. According to the company, this involves multiple stages, from product development to consumer delivery.

Within its laboratories, Amway scientists conduct tests such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to confirm that ingredients in supplements match label claims. The company also employs phytochemical fingerprinting, a laboratory test using chromatography to identify and benchmark unique phytonutrients in botanical ingredients. Amway states this complex and expensive process demonstrates the high quality of its products.

The company highlights the benefits of using plant-based ingredients and their inherent phytonutrients over solely synthetic components. Amway suggests that phytonutrients, working together holistically, offer a wider range of health benefits than synthetic nutrients alone. Acerola cherry, for instance, contains hundreds of such compounds.

To add another layer of validation, Nutrilite submits many of its products for independent third-party testing by organizations like NSF International. NSF also inspects Amway's manufacturing facilities to certify adherence to good manufacturing practices. Additionally, the company's labs are certified to meet international standards. This third-party testing provides customers with assurance and allows Amway Business Owners to confidently represent the products.

Amway also engages with industry groups to promote higher quality standards across the supplement sector. The company leverages external expertise through its Nutrilite Scientific Advisory Board, comprising top researchers in nutrition and health, to guide product development and research.
