Caring for the Environment.
SOLGAR VITAMIN AND HERB is a global company with global concerns, not least the impact we all have on the environment both professionally and personally. This is why Solgar go to such great lengths to use glass bottles that they guarantee are 100% recyclable. These bottles also maintain the potency and stability of our nutrients and herbs. The packing materials they use for deliveries are recycled egg cartons and newspaper off-cuts of recycled paper that we source from local companies. Even the Solgar boxes are made from environmental grade cardboard.
All packages from Solgar arrive at Vanderbell Health packaged in re-usable packaging securely packed as shown above. They always appear to have taken great care in their packaging to the extent that we often find them more difficult to unpack, but this is entirely to the benefit of the customer. You will be able to tell form the Solgar Supplements that you buy how sturdy and well made the glass containers are.

Solgar's state of the art manufacturing facility is completely up-to-date in both design and function, complying with health supplement Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and meeting pharmaceutical standards for machinery, procedures, quality control and environmentalism. This actually exceeds the standards required by the health supplement industry but ensures that Solgar quality is not compromised at any time during the manufacturing process. Indeed with our own quality control laboratory and distribution facilities, Solgar can guarantee accountability throughout the entire process.
Solgar Health Supplement Quality Control
Solgar strives for excellence and has the highest standards for quality. We employ a rigorous system of quality control measures within our on-site laboratory (a rarity within the industry) to test health supplement products at every stage of manufacturing, from raw material to finished product. All raw material entering Solgar's manufacturing facility is subject to stringent tests to ensure they are of the highest quality and purity. Any raw materials not meeting our exacting standards are immediately rejected and returned to suppliers. No product leaves their facility without meeting their ‘Gold Standard' for excellence.
USP Water Purification System. Solgar's facility benefits from a state-of-the-art USP reverse osmosis water purification system. This $1 million filtration technology is not required by Good Manufacturing Practice but is required by Solgar as part of our overall commitment to manufacturing excellence.
HEPA Air Filtration System. As part of Solgar's commitment to purity, this air filtration system is utilised in our manufacturing facility to filter all the air that circulates, removing 99.9% of all airbourne particles. Samples of both air and water are also routinely tested in our quality control laboratory.
Solgar Cleanliness
Workers at Solgar's manufacturing facility routinely disassemble and clean every piece of machinery after each formula change. The equipment is broken down into hundreds of parts and may take up to eight hours to clean and reassemble. In fact many of Solgar's machines spend longer being cleaned than they do making products. They also use food-grade, environmentally friendly cleaners to sanitise equipment between batches.
Solgar is Kosher and Halal Certified
Solgar selected KOF-K Kosher Supervision to certify our products. This international organisation follows the strictest laws of the kosher observance.
Solgar chose the Halal Food Authority (HFA), a U.K.-based organization that adheres to the strictest laws of Halal, to certify our products.
Aqueous Coated Tablets
Solgar was one of the first in the Natural Products Industry to stop using shellac, a solvent-based tablet coating agent, and to introduce a natural, water-based coating instead for all of our coated-tablet products. This natural, water-based coating improves disintegration and dissolution, providing better absorption of the nutrients.
Solgar Recyclable Amber Glass Bottles
Solgar is known for 100% recyclable, non-leaching, non-porous, and odorless glass bottles. Although these "old style" medicine bottles are more expensive, Solgar uses them because as part of their commitment to quality, they protect against heat, light, and moisture, thereby preserving nutrient potency.

To help retailers, doctors, pharmacists, journalists and consumers understand how supplements work, Solgar provides a team of nutritional experts to answer technical questions by phone, mail or e-mail.
Exclusive Solgar Distribution
Solgar is committed to distributing our products through independent health food retailers where consumers can find the best products along with the best nutritional advice and service. This is another way of ensuring the integrity of our products.
