OUR STANDARDS
Quality is not a marketing claim.
It is part of our process.
Growing demand for herbal products can increase the risk of contamination, adulteration, improper handling and inaccurate identification. Our standards are designed to protect botanical quality from sourcing through distribution.
Responsible Sourcing
We build longstanding relationships with botanical growers and suppliers who understand our expectations for authenticity, handling and quality.
Laboratory Testing
Every botanical lot undergoes laboratory testing before it can be approved for sale, providing an additional level of quality accountability.
Verified Distribution
Registration and due diligence help us protect botanical integrity as products move to customers, retailers, wholesalers and researchers.
RESPONSIBLE ACCESS
Why membership is required
Rare botanical materials should not be treated as ordinary commodities. Some botanicals may be vulnerable to improper handling, declining quality or inappropriate use.
