Transparency, Traceability at the Heart of the
Gaia Herbs Brand
BREVARD,
N.C., May 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Founded
almost 40 years ago, Gaia Herbs, a leader in herbal
supplements, stands behind the purity and potency of every product
and the accuracy of every label.
Gaia Herbs operates a 350-acre Regenerative Organic Certified®
farm in North Carolina and
manufactures and bottles our herbs in an on-site organic certified,
NSF / ANSI445 certified, FDA registered cGMP facility with an
ISO-certified lab, which is regularly audited. What Gaia Herbs does
not hand harvest from the farm, we source from the highest quality
partners who maintain similarly rigorous standards.
Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha Root capsules have a full-spectrum,
proprietary blend that includes whole Ashwagandha Root extract,
blended with powdered extract. All raw materials and finished goods
must meet industry-leading identity and strength, microbial, heavy
metal specifications, and pesticide standards.
"Gaia Herbs does not routinely test for Ostarine as there is no
scientific reason for Ostarine to appear in our products. Gaia
Herbs does not handle or process Ostarine or any similar,
synthetic, or pharmaceutical product on our farm or in our
laboratory, nor do any of our cooperating partners," says
Timothy Murray, Ph.D., Quality and
R&D Director, Gaia
Herbs.
Gaia Herbs takes quality concerns seriously, and in an
overabundance of caution proactively sent lots of finished goods
and extract for independent analysis by two well-known and
respected independent testing organization for targeted analysis of
sports nutrition adulterants. Both lab results confirmed that there
is no evidence of any banned substance in Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha
Root capsules.
Ashwagandha is an herb permitted for use as a dietary supplement
by the FDA. All Ashwagandha, including Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha,
contains Withanolides, a naturally occurring form of steroidal
lactone common in many medicinal plants, and has been used in
herbal remedies for thousands of years. Withanolides are not on the
Voluntary Anti-Doping Association's (VADA) Official Prohibited List
(Substances and Methods), and do not have the same biological
impact as traditional anabolic steroids. With that said, Ostarine
is not a steroid and cannot be confused with Withanolides or any
other phytochemical within Ashwagandha.
