Are Your Eye Vitamins GMP Certified?

Do you ever wonder if your eye vitamins contain the listed ingredients and the amount stated on the bottle?

Good Manufacturing Practices have been established to ensure that supplements are of the highest quality.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) will soon be required of every dietary supplement company in the United States. This is good news for those of you who take supplements for your macular degeneration or for any other reason. It will require processes and procedures that ensure product quality.

1) identity,

2) purity,

3) strength, and

4) composition.

These practices will ensure that you can expect to get the exact ingredients in the amount listed on the container.

Some dietary supplement companies have already implemented GMPs. Companies that do not comply with the GMPs will face criminal or civil penalties.
