USP Verified

Overview

USP verifies the quality, purity, and potency of dietary supplement finished products, dietary supplement ingredients, and pharmaceutical ingredients. Products and ingredients that pass all USP verification requirements—including a GMP audit, product and ingredient testing, and manufacturing documentation review—are awarded the distinctive USP Verified Mark. Participation is voluntary and available to manufacturers worldwide. USP's verification services draw upon its experience of nearly 200 years in setting federally recognized public standards of quality for medicines and, more recently, dietary supplements that are used today in more than 130 countries around the world.
