Kasivit Quality Standards

How Our Products Are Made
and Tested

Most Kasivit supplements are made in facilities that hold GMP certification from NSF International or UL Solutions, and our manufacturing partner's compliance documents list most of them as third-party tested. Testing type and country of manufacture vary by product, as shown below.

Facility Certifier
NSF International
Independent nonprofit that certifies manufacturing facilities. Certification applies to the facility, not to individual products.
Facility Certifier
UL Solutions
Global safety science company that certifies manufacturing facilities. Certification applies to the facility, not to individual products.
Manufacturing Standard
Current GMP (cGMP)
FDA regulation (21 CFR Part 111) for dietary supplement manufacturing. Some facilities are GMP-compliant rather than GMP-certified.

What Third-Party Testing Means

A laboratory that is separate from the manufacturer analyses a sample of the product. Which products are tested this way is listed below.

🧪

Third-Party Testing

A laboratory separate from the manufacturer analyses a product sample. Most products in the table below are listed as third-party tested in our manufacturing partner's compliance documents.

⚗️

In-House Testing

Testing by the manufacturer's own laboratory. Kasivit MetaBiotic Strips are listed as in-house tested.

🦠

What a Test Covers

Which tests were run (for example ingredient identity, ingredient amount, contaminants or microbes) depends on the product and the laboratory. We do not state here that a particular test was done on a particular product.

📄

Certificate of Analysis (COA)

A COA is a laboratory document that reports results for a tested sample. Our manufacturing partner's compliance documents include COAs for its products. A COA applies to the sample or lot it names; we do not state that every batch is covered.

Testing and Facility Certification by Product

Selected Kasivit products. Testing type, facility certifier and country come from our manufacturing partner's compliance table. The certification applies to the manufacturing facility, not to the product. Products marked USA are manufactured in the USA using globally sourced ingredients. Coffee products are third-party tested and made in GMP-compliant (not GMP-certified) facilities.

Certificates of Analysis (COAs)

A Certificate of Analysis is a document issued by a testing laboratory. It reports test results for the sample or lot it names.

Our manufacturing partner's compliance documents include COAs for its products. What a COA covers, for example ingredient identity, ingredient amount, heavy metals or microbial counts, differs by product and by laboratory. A COA for one lot does not show results for another lot.

If you would like to know what testing documentation is available for a product, email us at support@kasivit.com with the product name and, if you have one, your order number.

GMP Manufacturing

Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) is the set of FDA requirements for manufacturing dietary supplements (21 CFR Part 111).

What GMP Certification Involves

The facilities that make most of the products above hold GMP certification from NSF International or UL Solutions. Certification generally involves independent facility audits covering areas such as:

Facility Controls Facility and equipment controls and contamination prevention
Quality Systems Written SOPs, change control, and deviation investigation
Personnel Training Personnel training and qualification
Record Keeping Batch production and testing records

Common Questions

Who are NSF International and UL?

NSF International is a nonprofit organization that develops public health standards and certifies products and facilities, including dietary supplement manufacturers. UL Solutions is a global safety science company that also offers GMP certification. Both are organizations separate from the manufacturer. A facility certification confirms that the facility was audited against GMP requirements; it does not certify individual products or show that a product works.

How is this different from a manufacturer saying "we test our own products"?

Third-party testing means a laboratory separate from the manufacturer analyses the sample. In-house testing is done by the manufacturer's own laboratory. According to our manufacturing partner's compliance documents, most products in the table above are third-party tested; Kasivit MetaBiotic Strips are in-house tested. Facility certifications are issued by NSF International or UL Solutions.

Can I see the COA for my product?

Email support@kasivit.com with the product name and, if you have one, your order number, and we will tell you what testing documentation is available. A COA applies to the sample or lot it names and may not be for the lot in your order.

What does "cGMP" mean?

Current Good Manufacturing Practice. "Current" means the standard is expected to keep pace with science and technology. The FDA enforces cGMP for dietary supplements under 21 CFR Part 111. Many facilities used by our manufacturing partner also hold independent GMP certification from NSF International or UL Solutions; some product categories, such as coffees, come from facilities that are GMP-compliant but not GMP-certified.

Are all Kasivit products tested?

Testing differs by product. According to our manufacturing partner's compliance documents, most supplements in the table above are third-party tested and made in GMP-certified facilities; Kasivit MetaBiotic Strips are in-house tested and made in India; coffee products are third-party tested and made in GMP-compliant (not GMP-certified) facilities. Testing and certification do not show that a product is effective or suitable for you. If you take medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition or are under 18, ask a doctor or pharmacist before taking a supplement.
