GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) is a certification of the FDA which guarantees that any products a company makes are safe and pure.  The regulations also address issues including recordkeeping, personnel qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation and complaint handling. 

There are many supplement companies on the market today, and some are more concerned about quality control than others.  Although not all of our manufacturers are listed under the GMP certification, they are all very careful about quality control and guarantee the potency and quality of their products. 

In the USA, these number/letter combinations are used to indicate the potency of the product.  The number indicates how many times the solution has been diluted. The letter is a roman numeral, (X=10, C=100, M=1,000), and refers to the proportion of the dilution (1/10, 1/100, etc.). Generally, acute, localized symptoms are treated with low numbers such as 6C. The 30C potencies are most common, and used for first aid, seasonal ailments, and chronic health concerns. Potencies of 200 or higher are often only used when recommended by a qualified homeopath.

No. Please note we and/or our premium carriers do not consider weekend days as delivery or transit days for ground and expedited shipments (such as UPS Ground, UPS 2nd Day Air and UPS Next Day Air).  However, the US Postal Service may include Saturday as a delivery or transit day at their discretion.

While special Saturday-delivery expedited shipping services (such as UPS Next Day Saturday Delivery and UPS 2nd Day Air Saturday Delivery), may be available to some locations within the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii and Alaska, we do not use these services and you will not find them in our shopping cart.  In our experience, these services are too expensive, too complicated, and too often end up leaving our customers discouraged and unsatisfied.

Shipping involves an inherent risk of loss due to lost or damaged packages.  Retail sales involve an inherent risk of order fraud and loss.  To best protect Organic Pharmacy and our customers from incurring such losses, we cannot ship orders officially designated as "no signature required."  Please be advised that shipping carriers may reserve the right to deliver packages, especially unexpedited packages, without a signature, according to their policies and at their discretion.

"Vegetarian capsule" refers to a vegetarian product containing only vegetarian ingredients that is encapsulated in a vegetarian capsule.  Vegetarian capsules are often made of pine bark, as is definitely the case with Allergy Research Group and Nutricology products in "Vegetarian Capsule" form, and most likely is the case with our other vendor's products in  "Vegetarian Capsule" form.

"Vegetable capsule," as used primarily by Pure Encapsulations. also refers to a capsule made of pine bark.  However, the ingredients of a "Vegetable" capsule may or may not be vegetarian, depending on the product. 

We do our best to label all truly Vegetarian products as such on each product's own web page.  Please call our customer service department should you need verification that a product is or is not vegetarian.

A proprietary formula, also known as a "'proprietary trade formulation," is a patented formulation of ingredients.  A product composed of such a formula, such as Vitalzym, is required by the FDA to list the sum total of ingredients, but is not required to list the quantity of each ingredient in the blend.  As much as we'd like to, we simply can’t find out, and therefore can't relay to you, the exact proportions of the enzymes in the Vitalzym proprietary formula.  Think of 'the Colonel's Secret Recipe' and you'll get the idea.
