Analyses of food supplements

There is an abundance of food supplements (nutritional supplements) on the market that aim to help their users improve health, quality of life, immunity, appearance and a whole host of other factors. These food supplements are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect (vitamins, minerals, etc.), individually or in combination. Sometimes the real effectiveness of these preparations is very difficult to assess.

For manufacturers, especially importers of these preparations, we ensure verification of the composition or the presence of the declared substances. On the contrary, we exclude the presence of substances that could harm the human organism.
