Are synthetic vitamins ever used in NUTRILITE products?

Some NUTRILITE supplements contain vitamins from both natural and synthetic sources. We use both sources because, without synthetic vitamins, some of our supplements would not supply the optimum nutrient levels. In these cases, delivering enough nutrients without synthetic vitamins would require tablets that would be far too large for human consumption. So some products are formulated with a combination of synthetic vitamins and plant concentrates to deliver the important phytonutrients along with the nutritional levels that are consistent with leading science.
Are all the ingredients in NUTRILITE products grown at your own farms?

While we strive to grow as many of the plants that go into our concentrates as we can, the total product demand makes it impossible to produce and manufacture all of the ingredients and quantities required. Our stringent Supplier Certification Program ensures that any crops grown by others on our behalf meet our strict GMP standards.
How long are NUTRILITE products on storage shelves before being packaged and shipped?

On average, tablets are stored in the warehouse for less than one week before they are packaged and shipped to more than 40 different countries.
What are NUTRILITE nutrigenomic supplements?

Nutrigenomic supplements are personalized nutrition recommendations designed for certain genotypes, as discovered through DNA testing for a predisposition to certain diseases and conditions.
What quality tests are performed on NUTRILITE products?

Quality experts for the NUTRILITE brand perform over 15,000 tests a month on our products. Seven different types of tests are performed to ensure quality:

1. Dissolution Testing checks for the ability of a nutrient to go into a solution.
2. Disintegration Testing ensures the tablets disintegrate in 30 minutes or less.

4. Macro-Nutrient Testing checks for the amounts of fat, fiber, protein and carbohydrates.
5. Micro-Nutrient Testing ensures label claims for all vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
6. Raw Material Testing ensures the raw materials are the right quality to make the tablets.
7. Stability Testing checks the shelf-life of the tablets.
