“The quality of these lesser known brands purchased on Amazon is greatly improved, but we are still finding unacceptable lapses,” Dan Richard, NOW’s vice president of global sales and marketing, said in a press release.

NOW performed one test in its quality labs and another independently at Eurofins using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Additionally, Eco-Taste, a new brand sold directly from China, had the lowest test results of all the brands, measuring only 55% of its labeled claim of 500 mg per capsule.
