Delivering the Promise of Genetic Potential Through Nutrition
Why your doctor recommends Metagenics? For over 20 years, Metagenics has been the most trusted name in professional nutritional supplements.
What makes the quality of Metagenics products different? Your needs always come first. Metagenics is one of the few
professional nutritional supplement providers that manufactures formulas in its own facility that is independently
certified for Good Manufacturing Practices the ultimate mark of quality manufacturing. Metagenics also has one of
industry’s most stringent infrastructures for quality assurance and control to ensure the purity and safety of every
formula so you’ll receive the health benefits you expect.
Metagenics is also the leader in nutritional scientific research. Metagenics has established the most sophisticated laboratories
and research facilities in health supplement industry such as MetaProteomics® Nutrigenomics Research Center and the Functional
Medicine Research Center. To our knowledge, Metagenics also has the largest on-site scientific staff of MDs, PhDs, RDs, DCs,
NDs, and more.
Rigorously Tested for Purity
You can feel secure with Metagenics products-they're all about purity. Metagenics takes other careful steps for your
safety for products you can rely on:
Purity-certified essential fatty acids from cold water fish
Herbs selected and tested using the MetaBotanica® Method
Third-party identity-certified probiotic strains
It's important to keep in mind that all products are not alike-no matter what the label or packaging may claim.
Metagenics formulas are manufactured and handled in facilities that have pharmaceutical certification or are certified
for good manufacturing practices (GMP) by the NPA, NSF International, or TGA. The Metagenics difference is quality.
And quality can make a big difference in health outcomes.
Putting Nutritional Therapies to the Test
Clinical trials are research studies designed to test a hypothesis. Therefore, they require a clearly defined hypothesis
and clearly defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Examples of clinical trials include crossover design studies, and
control or other multiple-arm studies. Clinical trials lead to the preparation and submission of research articles to
peer-reviewed journals and provide data for analysis of effectiveness of nutritional and botanical interventions.
The clinical research arm of Metagenics, The Functional Medicine Research CenterSM (FMRC), comprises an expert team of
medical doctors, chiropractors, and nutritionists who are familiar with the latest developments in testing and treatment
in natural medicine therapies. Clinical trials at the FMRC are conducted under the FDA's Good Clinical Practice and IRB
guidelines. On-site human clinical trials are only part of the active research agenda pursued along with individual
case management studies (ICMs), proprietary in-house studies, and collaborative studies with healthcare organizations
in the private and public sectors around the world.
Science Backed by GMP Quality
Metagenics sets the standard for safety with stringent raw material selection and extensive testing for purity and
quality. These exceptional products are manufactured in-house facility certified for Good Manufacturing practices (GMP)
to ensure optimal purity.
GMP certification of a manufacturing plant is an excellent marker of quality. Metagenics' high quality nutritional
supplements are manufactured in facilities inspected and certified by key organizations that may include:
National Products Association (NPA, formerly known as the National Nutritional Foods Association or NNFA)
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF International)
Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia (TGA)
There's a difference between GMP compliance and actual GMP certification. GMP compliance means that a company is
monitoring itself on the adherence to GMP standards. GMP certification means that outside auditors ensure adherence
to GMP standards.
GMP certification is not free. In fact, it's very expensive to implement-and it's an ongoing process. That's why
many nutritional supplement manufacturers do not have these types of GMP certificates. But without actual GMP
certification, you cannot be sure if they are adhering to GMP requirements.
