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.

Chinese Gooseberry aka: Kiwi

Even though "kiwi" is slang for someone from New Zealand, the kiwi fruit is actually native to China. It's been so important to Chinese culture, in fact, that it is still the country's national fruit. The fruit was first introduced into New Zealand in the early 1900's. Although the Chinese name is "yang tao", New Zealanders soon dubbed the fruit "Chinese gooseberry".

When U.S. importer Norman Sondag decided to market the fruits in the United States, he wanted a new name so that he wouldn't have to pay the high tariffs then in place for berries. Kiwifruit was suggested by New Zealand grower jack Turner, inspired by the brown furry-looking natural bird of New Zealand. So there you have it. The story of the kiwi fruit.
