You Deserve Trust and Transparency
We, women, are special, and each of us is unique. We choose our own path to wellness. How can formal abbreviations like FDA or GMP interfere with that?
It’s your personal decision to choose the supplement tailored to your needs. But whatever your choice, you deserve to be sure that everything that nourishes your body is pure and of the highest quality.
Which brands can you trust? The ones whose claims are backed officially. Loud words are nothing if they are supported by nothing.
We treasure your trust, so we are ready to undergo thorough inspections and disclose all details about the raw ingredients we use and our operational processes to prove that we uphold the highest standards to provide you with pure and trustworthy products.
FDA: Transparency, Compliance, Reliability
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t approve dietary supplement claims. However, manufacturers are required to register with the FDA and disclose all the key information about the establishment, operational processes, and labeling.
What does it mean for a company like ours?
It means that…
-
…we thoroughly keep all the records and can trace any pinch of ashwagandha powder.
-
…our personnel are properly trained.
-
…all operational processes are transparent and safe.
-
…all the labels are clear and truthful.
FDA doesn’t guarantee it inspects all the registered facilities. However, if FDA inspectors discover any issues that might cause risks of contamination or adulteration, we will have to address them quickly. Otherwise, we might be fined.
What does it mean for our customers?
-
It means that all our operational processes meet FDA criteria.
-
It means that you can trust our products and be sure that you have made the right choice for yourself and your loved ones.
GMP: Gold Methods for Purity
You could see the words “GMP certified” on Garden Organics product labels. What do they mean?
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification means that trusted third-party laboratories and independent third-party auditors accredited for GMP verify that each operation stage of the company meets the guidelines.
What exactly is monitored?
-
sanitation systems,
-
raw materials: their purity and quality,
-
protocols for equipment maintenance;
-
samples from every batch,
-
air quality and humidity regulation,
-
risks of contamination and adulteration,
-
employee training,
-
records for every production stage,
-
regular quality testing.
If there are any problems, the company has to solve them. Only then can it achieve a certificate. The document is valid for up to three years.
All that might sound too technical and formal. But remember that behind all those protocols there are real people. We don’t strive for perfection only to get these documents. We do it because we are sure your health and well-being are priceless, and you deserve to get only pure products.
USDA Organic: Ethics and Purity
The USDA Organic certificate is probably one of the most cherished for us. Why? Because we strongly believe in the power of nature. We are sure that only in harmony with Earth can we reach balance. It’s impossible to take care of our health and wellness neglecting the soils, the water, the air - all our planet.
And we are happy and proud to have achieved the USDA Organic certificate because it verifies that our products and facilities are sustainable, and that we take the most care of nature and of your well-being.

-
It contains at least 95% organic ingredients.
-

-
