FROM INGREDIENT TO FINISHED PRODUCT
IQed Quality Built Into Every Serving
Quality starts long before IQed reaches your glass. From the ingredients that come into the facility to the finished product that leaves it, every step is carefully checked to help ensure the purity, quality, and consistency we expect from IQed.
Ingredients are evaluated for identity, quality and purity before use, with additional checks throughout the manufacturing process to help ensure the finished product meets established specifications and label claims.
IQed adds another layer of independent verification through Clean Label Project testing for heavy metals and more than 150 environmental contaminants.
Outstanding Quality
Quality isn’t something we check only at the end. It is built into every stage of the process, from the ingredients selected for IQed through manufacturing and the finished product.
Throughout production, quality controls help confirm that IQed meets the standards we expect for identity, purity, consistency, and quality before it ever reaches your home.
For us, that attention to detail matters because what goes into IQed is ultimately food for you and your family.
Just One Little Oversight Could Bring Contaminants
IQed is produced using pharmaceutical-grade standards that are higher than what is required for nutritional supplements. These additional quality-control measures aren’t required by law, but they provide another level of assurance in how IQed is made.
RIGOROUS TESTING STARTS BEFORE PRODUCTION
Every raw material is screened before it enters the manufacturing process. Ingredients are checked for identity, purity and quality, with testing that can include heavy metals, microbial contaminants and pathogens as appropriate.
The manufacturing facility reports that 100% of inbound raw materials meet or exceed FDA standards, helping keep materials that don’t meet specifications from ever becoming part of the finished product.
ALL NATURAL. BEYOND ORGANIC.
IQed begins with natural ingredients sourced from around the world. But where an ingredient comes from, or whether it is labeled organic, is only the beginning. What matters just as much is what is actually in it.
Before raw materials are approved for use, they undergo rigorous quality-control testing. Rather than relying only on random samples, every barrel is tested, every time. Each material is sampled and quarantined until it has been fully evaluated and approved.
That additional scrutiny matters because even natural and organic ingredients can be exposed to heavy metals and other environmental contaminants through soil, water, and the environment. For IQed, quality means going beyond the label and taking additional steps to know what goes into every serving.
ADVANCED TESTING. VERIFIED QUALITY.
Before raw materials are approved for use, their identity and purity are carefully verified against established specifications and Certificate of Analysis (COA) information. This helps ensure that what is supposed to be in an ingredient is actually what is there.
Advanced testing technology plays an important role throughout the process. FTNIR near-infrared technology is used to confirm ingredient identity, while additional analytical methods including HPLC, GC and ICP are used as appropriate to evaluate purity and help verify label claims.
Testing doesn’t stop with the incoming ingredients. Identity and purity checks continue during production and on the finished product, creating multiple layers of quality control from raw material to finished IQed.
THIS ALL MEANS
A HIGHER STANDARD FOR WHAT YOU SERVE
At the facility where IQed is produced:
- 100% of inbound raw materials meet or exceed FDA standards.
- 100% of finished products meet or exceed FDA standards.
- 100% of finished products meet label claims.
For IQed, these rigorous manufacturing standards are another part of our commitment to creating food you can feel confident serving yourself and the people you care about.
