Dietary Supplement Testing
Aprofood is an expert in food testing. We have developed a scientific and standardized testing procedure to identify the safety and quality risks of products. You can select the required components from our comprehensive testing services. Our chemical experts are always ready to assist you.
Why Test Dietary Supplements?
Unlike pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements do not need to go through the standard regulatory approval process before being marketed. This makes third-party testing particularly important to ensure that the products do not contain prohibited substances, contaminants, and to confirm the content of active ingredients. This helps build consumer trust and ensures market compliance. Global regulations require strict control over the contaminants and microbial content of dietary supplements, as well as accurate labeling of active ingredients. For example, the European Food Safety Authority implements a unified testing standard for new ingredients.
Our Service
Aprofood offers comprehensive dietary supplement testing solutions, including detailed nutrient analysis, precise detection of key active ingredients, and analysis of adulteration or contaminant content in the finished products. Our goal is to ensure that your products can meet consumers' expectations for high-quality dietary supplements.
Our Services Offering
We conduct component identification test on your dietary supplement to ensure that the raw materials, additives, and final product components fully comply with the statements on the label. We select appropriate testing methods for specific matrices.
The efficacy of dietary supplements depends on the concentration and dosage of each dietary component. We can quantitatively analyze the content of active ingredients (such as probiotics and plant extracts), verify their bioavailability and efficacy stability, in order to ensure that the health benefits claimed by the product are scientifically reliable.
Our services also include testing for harmful contaminants in the products, such as pathogens, pesticides, pesticide residues, microbial contamination and illegal additives, to ensure that your products meet food safety standards.
By conducting accelerated aging tests and real-time stability tests, we simulated the degradation trends of each component under different storage conditions, in order to accurately predict the quality changes of the product throughout its shelf life.
Detection Technologies
+ UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis)
Used for quantitative determination of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
+ Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS)
Detects heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic) and essential trace elements (selenium, chromium) with high sensitivity.
+ Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS)
Used for multi-element analysis of heavy metals and minerals at trace levels.
+ Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS)
Rapidly analyzes moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and functional ingredients without sample destruction.
+ High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC)
Separates and quantifies vitamins (B12, folic acid), amino acids, polyphenols, and pharmaceutical contaminants.
+ Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS)
Identifies volatile compounds and illegal additives through vaporization and mass analysis.
+ Fluorescence Spectrophotometer
Used for highly selective detection of certain drug metabolites.
+ Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI)
Used for determining and visualizing the spatial distribution of specific chemical compositions.
