Who is United States Pharmacopeia?




When choosing dietary supplements it is important to purchase items with the USP notation on the products. Why and who is the USP?


The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is a scientific, not-for-profit organization that sets public standards for medicines, supplements, and food ingredients. Only those products that meet its stringent criteria are permitted to display the USP Verified Mark on their label. The USP Verified Mark on products tells you that they have been independently verified for quality, purity, strength, disintegration or dissolution (the ability for the tablets to breakdown in the stomach so that the dietary ingredients can be absorbed) and consistency.


USP’s standards are recognized in more than 130 countries and have helped ensure public health standards for over 200 years. More detail is at www.usp.org. Today it is very important to take care of your health and wellness. This is a new mission for Chef Johnny and many others who are getting into that senior citizen age bracket. Post your personal story and let others know what you are doing to improve your health and wellness.
