Embria Gains NSF GMP Certification

ANKENY, IowaThe National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified Embria Health Sciences as following GMP (good manufacturing practice) standards for dietary supplements after a review of the ingredient suppliers manufacturing facility. Once NSF completes the GMP registration certification process, Embria will be authorized to use the NSF mark on or in connection with the sale, use or distribution of EpiCor, its immune-balancing ingredient.

"This adds tremendous value to Embria Health Sciences and its manufacturing partners," said Larry Robinson, Ph.D., Embria vice president of scientific affairs. "Combined with the large body of clinical studies demonstrating EpiCors ability to help the body maintain immune balance, the NSF certification indicates weve raised the bar, giving our partners the confidence they need to take a quality product to market."

Gayle Kittelson, Embria quality research scientist, added, "While Embria is not required to have this certification, we believe its an important added benefit that will help manufacturers comply with FDA requirements for supplier qualification."
