Establishing these relationships around the world translates to unprecedented access to quality ingredients that earn the Better Being seal of approval.

TESTING

Purity is a fact and a promise.

We analyze and aren’t afraid to reject raw materials that don’t meet our standard of quality. Our reputation for this kind of scrutiny has raised the bar on purity throughout the entire health and wellness industry. Admittedly, the hardest test we have to pass is our own. Internal testing gives us confidence that our products will live up to the Better Being name.

MANUFACTURING

Health and wellness in the making.

The complexity of production demands our full attention from start to finish. The process of blending various ingredients and ensuring they deliver their intended benefit requires continued testing at every stage of manufacturing. Once products pass inspection, labels are then verified so a have insight into every ingredient.

We base our decision-making on science. Our testing methodologies run the gamut from assessing ingredient potency to detecting unwanted compounds.

Regardless of the answers we seek, our goal is to create products that are safe, effective and help people live life in their best health.

The latest equipment and technology drive our testing facility, leaving no room for debate when it comes to our formulas and how well they work for those in pursuit of health and wellness.

DEVELOPMENT

Advancing wellness one brand at a time.
