Launch Your Herbal Product Without Getting Banned. We Handle the Compliance, You Reap the Rewards.

Navigating the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in the USA (FDA) can be a nightmare for those in the herbal products industry. If you say the wrong thing—such as implying your herb 'treats' a disease—your product could be classified as an 'unapproved new drug,' leading to immediate seizure and injunctions. The distinction between a legitimate 'structure/function' claim, which is legal under DSHEA, and a medical claim is dangerously thin, highlighting the need for compliance services to ensure adherence to regulations. In the UK, the MHRA compliance process involves the Traditional Herbal Registration (THR) scheme, which requires proof of 30 years of traditional use, including 15 years within the EU/UK. This lengthy, expensive, and complex process is essential because without obtaining a THR, you cannot make any medicinal claims about your herbal products, severely limiting your marketing options and the potential for natural product development.

Amazon's algorithms are ruthless, often enforced by bots that quickly catch mistakes. Your listing can be banned in an instant for several reasons:

Prohibited Claims: Using terms like "cures," "treats," or "prevents" in your title, bullet points, or description can lead to issues with compliance services. 

Incomplete Documentation: Not providing immediate access to essential documents such as Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), FDA approval, FDA/MHRA registration numbers, or GMP certifications upon request can jeopardize your listing.

Supplier Shifts: An unreliable supplier may change a formula without your knowledge, resulting in a failed test and a permanent ban for "selling adulterated products." This underscores the importance of MHRA compliance in natural product development, particularly for herbal products.

We offer comprehensive compliance services, including full FDA facility registration and GMP audit documentation. Our rigorous product testing for herbal products encompasses heavy metals, microbiology, potency, and pesticides for every SKU and batch. Furthermore, we guarantee label compliance with strict adherence to FDA approval (Supplement Facts) or MHRA compliance (Nutrition Information) panel regulations, as even a minor formatting mistake can result in rejection.

This is a silent killer. Google's algorithms aggressively penalize or delist sites that violate its strict policies for health claims, especially in the YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) category. If your site is deemed non-compliant and lacks adequate compliance services, or is viewed as untrustworthy, your hard-earned search ranking can vanish overnight. Additionally, Google Merchant Center may suspend your product feeds for claim violations, including issues related to FDA approval for herbal products, which can remove you from Google Shopping entirely, crippling a vital sales channel. Ensuring MHRA compliance is also critical for businesses engaged in natural product development to avoid such penalties.

Compliance is an ongoing process, especially in the field of herbal products. The regulations surrounding compliance services are stringent and constantly changing. Updates regarding FDA approval, permissible claims, labeling requirements—such as those outlined in the new Dietary Supplement Labeling Guide—and testing standards are in a state of flux. What was compliant last year may not meet current standards, particularly when considering MHRA compliance in natural product development. Staying informed is crucial, as failing to do so can lead to immediate non-compliance, resulting in potential bans and fines.

This is where most ventures fail. An unreliable supplier can result in issues such as failed potency and contamination in your herbal products. For instance, your '1000mg' herb may only contain 200mg and be tainted with heavy metals or microbes, rendering your products illegal and dangerous. Additionally, inconsistent formulations can lead to batch-to-batch variance, resulting in customer complaints and regulatory red flags that could hinder your chances of obtaining FDA approval. Moreover, without proper documentation, including the mandatory Certificate of Analysis (CoA) from a reputable third-party lab, it becomes impossible to sell on major platforms or demonstrate compliance services to regulators, including MHRA compliance, which is essential for successful natural product development.
