The key to delivering an organic supplement rests in the manufacturer's commitment to quality and excellence.

In fact, I believe that without these quality processes in place, it really doesn't matter what organic herbs are harvested. You simply won't end up with a top-notch consistent organic formula. In turn, you won't receive the maximum potential value of the herb.

So, it's important to highly scrutinize and research the manufacturer's credentials.

In fact, you may not be able to stop with the manufacturer alone. Keep in mind, the total organic process involves planting, cultivation, selective harvesting, and then producing and packaging the final formula.

Here's the type of certifications I recommend you look for:

Hazards and Critical Control Points (HACCP) -- International food safety certification that World Health Organization (WHO) standards are met  

Safe Quality Food (SQF) -- HACCP-based food safety and risk management system covering the identification of food safety, quality risks, and the validation and monitoring of control measures

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) -- International certification verifies all required practices necessary for an effective food safety program are followed

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2000 -- International standard for quality, safety, ecology, economy, reliability, compatibility, inter-operability, efficiency, and effectiveness

Orthodox Union (OU) Kosher -- Certifies compliance for Kosher observers and followers

International organic certificationssuch as: USDA, EU, and NSOP
