• Heavy metal and microbial testing: Stringent testing for pathogens and heavy metals aims to ensure that the final product is free of contaminants.

“When our parents founded Natural Grocers in 1955, their goal was to empower their fellow community members to embark on their own health journeys,” noted Heather Isely, Natural Grocers EVP. “Today, our family and our good4u Crew extended family [continue] to spread the message of empowerment on which the company was founded. Natural Grocers Brand Vitamins & Supplements are a fulfillment of our commitment to that message. We developed this product line to provide high-quality vitamins and dietary supplements at prices that our communities can afford — and that they can trust are as potent and as pure as we say they are, because every vitamin and supplement is put through a rigorous testing process and [is] certified by Good Manufacturing Practices.”
Originally operated under the Vitamin Cottage banner, Natural Grocers stores have always included extensive supplement departments.
