Certification
Many herbal products made in China have been found to be contaminated with heavy metals or adulterated with unlabeled pharmaceutical compounds. At Kan Herb Company, we have created our own guarantee by testing every incoming lot of herbs for over 200 different pesticides as well as all toxic metals and bio-burdens, such as yeast, mold, E. Coli, Staphylococcus and Salmonella. Our Certificates of Analysis attest to the extensive testing our products undergo.
Every herb is visually
inspected for appropriate genus and part, as well as for quality
and freshness, using traditional organoleptic methodology. Only superior grades of herbal products are selected and any
adulterated, or improperly substituted material, rejected. We
test all herbal material that cannot be properly identified organoleptically.
With more than 300 individual herb reference samples in our extensive
database, we assure that the consistency and quality of our raw
herb constituents is maintained. Certain Chinese herbs are
treated with sulfur to give them an appearance of freshness and,
as a result, many have demonstrated unacceptably high levels of
sulfites. At Kan Herb Company, our first concern is safety,
and we make every effort to ensure that our herbs are indeed sulfite
free.
The Kan Commitment
At Kan Herb Company, quality starts
at the source with quality
raw materials; validated, unsulphured, pesticide free,
high-grade Chinese herbs. We assemble, test and manufacture our
herbal formulas in the United States with stringent manufacturing
standards, to assure that the potency and purity you expect, is in
every bottle. Kan Herb Company's independent assessment and testing
of each herbal ingredient means that, regardless of seasonal and
market variations, Kan Herb formulas are composed of the highest quality
materials. Every step of the manufacturing process is
evaluated according to rigorous qualitative and quantitative standards,
which exceed recognized
current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
Everything that we do
is driven by our passion to help people achieve better balance and harmony in their lives. Quality
is expressed throughout: in our use of innovative technologies,
producing the greatest percentage of active herbal material per
ounce, to excellence in customer service and professional consultation. At Kan Herb Company,
we assume responsibility for every level of the manufacturing
process, which is made apparent by the effectiveness of our products.
Confidence in Kan Herb Company products is expressed by our
Guarantee.
"I've used Kan
herbal formulas for over ten years and have found them to be consistently
the highest quality. Kan's staff is very knowledgeable, friendly
and reliable. The herbal education from their manuals and newsletters
is unparalleled. I rely on Kan herbs for my patients and family.
Their Chinese Modular System and line of single herbs makes modifications
of classic formulas more flexible and adaptable to the individual
patient needs. I would recommend Kan herbal formulas to both the
beginning and experienced practitioners of Traditional Chinese Herbology."
