The precise vitamin content is essential for health claims, regulatory compliance, and consumer safety.
At EKOCENTRUM OVALAB, we provide accredited testing for a wide range of fat- and water-soluble vitamins, from standard food matrices to complex formulations.
We carry out two distinct types of vitamin-related testing, and it is important to understand which applies to your product.
Determination of vitamin content covers the quantification of specific vitamins in food, beverages, and dietary supplements. Results are used for nutritional labelling, verification of declared values, and shelf-life studies.
Control of vitamin raw materials covers the identity and purity testing of pure vitamin substances as incoming raw materials, typically performed in accordance with pharmacopoeial monographs (Ph. Eur., ČL, USP) within our GMP quality system.
Our experts help ensure that your label declarations are scientifically verified and meet pharmacopoeial or legal requirements.
