In the pursuit of a healthier life, we often turn to natural health products to supplement our well-being. These products, ranging from dietary supplements to skincare essentials, play a significant role in our daily routines. But have you ever wondered what goes into these products and how they can impact your health beyond their active ingredients? This is where excipients come into play.
Excipients are substances, other ingredients, in products that some suppliers or manufacturers use to serve various purposes, such as stabilizing formulations, aiding absorption, or enhancing appearance and taste. Excipients, often overlooked, can significantly impact how a product functions, its absorption rate, and its overall effectiveness. Often times, questionable excipients are used to cut costs and expedite production.

Nurtured By Nature, Certified By Science
AzureWell’s commitment to purity ranges across all our products, including skincare essentials, botanicals, and wellness items. AzureWell's supplements undergo comprehensive testing, ensuring botanical identities and the absence of herbicides, pesticides, and other contaminants. We strictly adhere to FDA regulations and rigorously test for potential contaminants, such as heavy metals and residual solvents. We also steer clear of GMOs, radiation sterilization, and additives like magnesium stearate.
Our unwavering dedication to quality extends beyond sourcing. We take extra steps to ensure the safe storage and transportation of our products, safeguarding their integrity and effectiveness. Many of our supplements are stored in exclusive violite bottles, protecting them from light's harmful effects, which can compromise product quality.
To guarantee the safety and quality of our ingredients, our suppliers adhere to strict safety protocols, often surpassing FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards. Our suppliers have teams of scientists (see below) that utilize cutting-edge technology and analytical methods, including HPLC, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry, to monitor every phase of the manufacturing process. This meticulous approach ensures purity, potency, and freedom from undesirable substances in all our natural health products.
