Why is quality control so important?

Quality Control is like car insurance. You don’t think about it until you need it. But a quality herbal product is something you should think about and consider when deciding who will be your herb company. Your patients are coming to you because their health is compromised. The last thing you want to do is add to their problems by prescribing herbs that may not be safe or effective.

Most countries do not have the same level of standards as the United States, and without conscientious attention by your herbal company the potential for contaminated herbs is high. We have made it our business to make sure you receive the safe formulas you expect.

For over 30 years, Health Concerns has sold only the highest quality herbal formulas. What does Health Concerns do to maintain this quality? All raw materials are subject to batch controls from formulation, to encapsulation, to packaging.

Each step in the process is controlled by many Quality Assurance procedures. Using the lot number and best buy date stamped on the bottom of a Health Concerns product, we can track the finished product all the way back to the raw ingredient.

  • We import only the whole herb
  • We assay for heavy metals, bacteria, fungus and pesticides
  • We process only in the United States
  • We manufacture according to FDA good manufacturing practices (GMP’s) which incorporates standards for supplements and over-the-counter drugs
  • Our capsules, packaging and batch controls are monitored by quality assurance
  • Final testing of finished capsule. We take these steps because our goal is to provide safe and effective herbs for our health care practitioners. The results can be seen in the extraordinary progress patients make using Health Concerns formulas.

When you use Health Concerns formulas in your practice, you know your patients will benefit from our Quality Control and Quality Assurance standards. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with the results of a Health Concerns product, send the bottle(s) back within 60 days of purchase with a copy of the original invoice and a note describing the reason for the return. Health Concerns will issue a product credit or a replacement bottle.
