Microbial Quality Testing for Nutraceuticals 

Dietary Supplements

The global demand for dietary supplements and nutraceuticals has surged, fueled by heightened health consciousness, particularly amid the COVID-19 pandemic. To keep pace, manufacturers must swiftly adapt their operations and quality control measures while navigating regulatory requirements.  

Despite their natural composition and ingredients, Nutraceuticals are prone to microbial contamination from soil microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella and S. aureus, which can proliferate during production stages. However, traditional quality testing methods are often expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, exacerbating industry challenges.
