Himalaya follows the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) at our world-class manufacturing facility. This enables us to produce herbal products with uniform levels of batch-to-batch consistency and ensures that the customer receives the same high quality product regardless of where it is purchased. We strive to meet customer health needs through well-researched, effective and safe remedies.
Himalaya follows WHO (World Health Organization) protocols for all herbal formulations, and conducts tests on pharmacognosy which is the identification of the botanical origin and purity of the herbs used in our products. We also perform tests using analytical chemistry to ensure the purity of the herbs we use in our products; we look at the viscosity and pH balance of herbs including the identification of active constituents and microbial content, in addition to the total viable count, and the presence of fungus, yeast and mold.
Scientific testing has been a hallmark at Himalaya since 1930 when we embarked on our journey to make quality herbal products. At Himalaya, we use modern science to rediscover and validate Ayurveda's secrets by employing cutting-edge research to create pharmaceutical-grade products.
