Comprehensive microbiological analysis package for dietary supplements
Why test dietary supplements?
Dietary supplements are gaining popularity among consumers looking for ways to improve their health and well-being. However, as interest in these products grows, so does the need to ensure their safety and high quality. That's why we offer a comprehensive package of 6 microbiological tests dedicated specifically to dietary supplements.
What is included in our analytical package?
Our package includes six key microbiological parameters that are essential for assessing the safety and quality of dietary supplements. Each of these parameters provides important information about the microbiological status of the tested product, allowing a comprehensive assessment of its safety for the consumer.
Importance of individual analyses in the evaluation of vitamin preparations
Total Microbial Count - the key to assessing microbiological purity
The Total Microbial Count test is a fundamental indicator of the microbiological purity of a supplement. It allows to determine the total amount of bacteria present in the product, which is crucial for assessing its overall quality and shelf life. A high Total Microbial Count may indicate hygiene problems during production or improper storage conditions.
Pathogen detection - a guarantee of consumer safety
The next four tests in our package focus on detecting specific pathogens that may pose a health risk to consumers:
-
Coagulase-positive staphylococci, including Staphylococcus aureus, are tested for in 1 gram of product. These bacteria can cause food poisoning and are an indicator of potential product contamination during the manufacturing process.
-
Escherichia coli the presence of which we also check in 1 gram of supplement is an important indicator of fecal contamination. Its detection may suggest inadequate hygiene in the production process.
-
Salmonella, tested in 25 grams of product, is a dangerous pathogen that can cause serious food infections. Its absence is crucial to the safety of the supplement.
-
Listeria monocytogenes is another dangerous pathogen we quantify in our study. It is particularly dangerous for immunocompromised people, pregnant women and the elderly.
Mold and yeast - an indicator of product quality and shelf life
The last, but not least, element of our package is the mold and yeast count. Not only can these microorganisms affect the quality and shelf life of the supplement, but some mold species can also produce mycotoxins that are harmful to health.
