USP standards for dietary ingredients, dietary supplements, and herbal medicines are a resource for public specifications and scientifically valid methods that can help in GMP compliance, mitigating adulteration risk and in safeguarding the supply chain for ingredients and supplements.

Donors who provide methods and data are the foundation of the development of USP standards. By sponsoring monographs or general chapters and their supporting reference standards, you can help shape specifications and test methods, support public health, and improve the quality of products worldwide.

There is no direct cost or fees associated with becoming a USP donor, just your expertise, time, and willingness to work with USP. In many cases, your contributions may be tax deductible.
