The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is a non–governmental, official
public standards–setting authority for prescription and
over–the–counter medicines and other healthcare products manufactured
or sold in the United States. USP also sets widely recognized standards
for food ingredients and dietary supplements. USP sets standards for
the quality, purity, strength, and consistency of these
products–critical to the public health. USP's standards are recognized
and used in more than 130 countries around the globe. These standards
have helped to ensure public health throughout the world for close to
200 years.
USP verifies active and inactive ingredients used in the manufacture
of dietary supplement products. Ingredients that pass USP's rigorous
verification processes are awarded use of the USP Verified Dietary
Supplement Ingredient Mark (image on right) to display on containers of
the verified ingredient. The mark helps manufacturers recognize that
they are buying ingredients of consistent quality for use in the
supplements they manufacture.
