Question 11

What quality control measures and certifications do you have?

Accepted Answer

Every batch undergoes rigorous testing including active compound content (HPLC for ligustilide and ferulic acid, UV for polysaccharides), loss on drying, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), pesticide residues, and microbiological analysis.
