What certifications does Build Your Own Brand hold?

Build Your Own Brand holds FDA registration, cGMP certification, ISO 9001:2015, NSF International certification, HACCP, Halal, and OU Kosher certifications. These cover every major quality and compliance standard required for supplement manufacturing worldwide.

What is GMP certification and why does it matter for supplements?

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification means a facility follows FDA-mandated standards for manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and storing dietary supplements. It ensures consistent product quality, accurate ingredient amounts, and absence of contaminants. All U.S. supplement manufacturers are legally required to follow cGMP regulations.

Does Build Your Own Brand provide third-party testing?

Yes. Every production batch undergoes independent third-party laboratory testing for identity, potency, purity, heavy metals, microbial contamination, and allergens. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each batch at no additional charge.

What is included in a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?

A COA includes identity verification confirming the correct ingredients are present, potency testing to ensure label-claim accuracy, heavy metals screening (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic), microbial testing for bacteria and mold, and allergen testing where applicable. BYB provides COAs from accredited third-party labs for full transparency.

Is FDA registration the same as FDA approval for supplements?

No. Dietary supplements do not require FDA pre-approval, but manufacturing facilities must be registered with the FDA and follow cGMP regulations. FDA registration means the agency has inspected and recognized the facility. Build Your Own Brand maintains active FDA registration and welcomes audits.
