How we earn your trust
Every Test, Every Time.
Since 1973, Solaray has believed that what you put in your body should be proven, not promised. That’s why testing and quality are at the core of everything we do. In our Ogden, Utah lab, scientists conduct up to 15,000 scientific tests each month with the most advanced equipment available.^ We don’t just review supplier documents, we verify raw materials ourselves to ensure what’s on the label is exactly what’s in the bottle.
In an industry where quality can vary widely, testing isn't just a step in the process. It is the process. With 580+ protocols, we confirm identity, potency, and purity, and screen for contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides.** If it doesn't pass. It doesn’t make it to you.
This isn’t just quality control. It’s 50 years of science, integrity, and care—in every product.
^Up to 15,000 tests per month, dependent on inventory levels.
**Most contaminants are tested to a 10 ppb reporting limit.
Third-Party Certifications You Care About
-
NSF Certified
You can feel confident that your supplements are manufactured in a safe and hygienic facility that meets or exceeds NSF standards.
This rigorous third-party certification ensures that the facility where your supplements are made meets strict standards for public health protection.

It’s your assurance that what’s in every Solaray bottle is exactly what’s supposed to be there—nothing more, nothing less.
Our 650,000 square-foot facility is 455-2 cGMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Certified. This third-party gold standard helps ensure the identity, purity, strength, and composition of our supplements.**
The qualification process requires a review of our manufacturing practices, quality management system, facility, equipment, and production processes. A third-party certification body conducts an extensive audit to ensure compliance, and regular audits may be conducted to maintain certification.
-
USDA Organic
A smart choice for your body and the planet, select Solaray products are USDA Organic certified.
The ingredients in these supplements do not contain synthetic additives, are non-GMO, and feature ingredients that are grown with organic farming practices.

The Three Pillars of Quality
We're proud to earn your trust with every bottle sold.
Sourcing
It starts with where—and who—we source from. We pride ourselves on selecting ingredients grown in their native environments whenever possible, like maca from Peru, elderberry from Europe, saw palmetto from Florida, and ashwagandha from India. Every supplier is carefully vetted and we only partner with those who meet our rigorous standards.
Manufacturing
Quality is non-negotiable, which is why we maintain vertical integration and control the majority of the manufacturing process. We oversee every step from blending and encapsulation to final labeling and COA verification. No shortcuts. Just total quality control from start to finish.
Testing
Inside our labs, scientists use cutting-edge techniques to conduct up to 15,000 tests per month.^ Every raw ingredient goes through intake testing, even if it arrives with a Certificate of Analysis. No skip-lot or repeat-lot testing of raw materials is allowed. We conduct composite testing throughout the intake drums. If it doesn’t pass? We never sell it to you. Your trust is something we’re proud to earn with every bottle sold.
A Look Inside Our Lab
-
Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICPs)
Used to detect heavy metals like arsenic, mercury, lead, and cadmium, and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, in raw materials and finished products—ensuring safety and label compliance.**
-
Gas Chromatography (GCs)
Measures compounds that easily turn into gases, like essential oils or residual solvents. Detects hidden ingredients like pesticides and checks for purity, quality, and potency.** Analyzes the fatty acid makeup of oils, identifying any ingredients that may have been contaminated or broken down over time.
-
Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLCs)
Used for over 300 tests including measuring potency and active ingredients, as well as screening for contaminants like glyphosate.
-
Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS)
Used to confirm the presence and amount of key ingredients like enzymes, polyphenols, and certain plant-based nutrients, helping ensure quality and consistency from batch to batch.
-
Fourier Transform & Near Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR & NIR)
Used for rapid identification of raw materials such as vitamin C and amino acids to detect adulteration, confirm purity, and verify compound identity.
-
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology
Detects microbial pathogens such as E. coli and ensures traceability of plant sources in supplements.
-
ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)
Screens for gluten and soy to ensure our gluten-free and soy-free supplements do not contain these ingredients.
-
Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC)
Separates phytochemical components in a botanical ingredient, ensuring that the acceptable chemical fingerprint for a given whole botanical or plant part is present. Indicates if unwanted chemical components (adulteration) is present.
**Most contaminants are tested to a 10 ppb reporting limit.
