The Solgar Gold Standard
Solgar’s ongoing mission is to provide consumers with top-quality, innovative, science-based nutritional supplements to enhance their total health and well-being. Solgar is committed to exclusively distributing its products in the natural products industry where knowledgeable retailers worldwide can guide consumers through the vast array of choices.
From the beginning, the company has been dedicated to maintaining the highest standard for quality—the Solgar Gold Standard™. Since its products are manufactured in its own state-of-the-art facilities, premium quality is ensured throughout the entire process. Solgar’s manufacturing facility meets the strictest standards for machinery, procedures and quality control.
Solgar has a rigorous quality control system in place to test products at every stage, from raw material to finished product. All materials coming into its facility are subject to stringent tests to ensure they are the highest quality. Any materials that don’t meet Solgar’s standards are rejected and immediately sent back to suppliers. Extensive testing is performed on initial formula batches, mid-production batches and final product. Solgar’s on-site Quality Laboratory ensures that each product meets its Gold Standard for quality.
Quality has been Solgar’s guiding principle since 1947, and is deeply ingrained in everything the company does. Solgar is committed to continually raising its Gold Standard for quality as science and technology evolve.
Products and Services
For over 60 years, Solgar has introduced innovative and scientifically advanced supplements. Its premium branded nutritional supplements include multivitamins, minerals, botanicals, and specialty formulas—a comprehensive variety that can be tailored to meet individual requirements for nutrition and lifestyle. Solgar’s product line includes halal, kosher and vegetarian (strictly non-animal-sourced material) supplements in varied doses and forms. Most of its products are also free of gluten, dairy and wheat. In accordance with the company’s Gold Standard, Solgar does not use unnecessary sugars, salts or fillers in its products.
The company was one of the first in the natural products industry to integrate a natural, water-based coating for all of its coated-tablet products as an alternative to using the more common solvent-based coating agent shellac (also known as pharmaceutical glaze). This natural coating improves disintegration and dissolution, providing better absorption of nutrients.
At Solgar, every department is dedicated to supporting customers’ needs. Operating its own manufacturing facility and global distribution centers enables the company to ensure fresh products and prompt delivery. Solgar also provides its retailers with the most current scientific information so they can best inform their customers. In addition, its toll-free phone number (877) SOLGAR4) is printed on every label so retailers and consumers can reach Solgar’s team of nutritional experts with any technical questions.
