Hauppauge, N.Y. (Sept. 16, 2015)- Continuing its leadership in supplement transparency, Country Life ® announced its first Non-GMO Project Verified products. The new non- GMO Biotin supplements will be featured at Natural Products Expo East, held Sept. 16-19 in Baltimore, Md.
"Our vision is to help you treat yourself well, whether you follow a gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, organic or non-GMO diet," said Wendy Lucas, GM, chief sales and marketing officer at Country Life. "These new Non-GMO Project Verified Biotin supplements demonstrate our dedication to helping you make informed choices, so that you can live a healthy, happy, active life."
The New Non-GMO Project Verified Biotin products will come in 500 mcg and 1 mg tablet format, and will arrive on shelf in the fall 2015. Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that supports the formation of keratin- a building block for skin, hair and nails - and supports energy metabolism. *Country Life's Biotin products are also certified gluten-free.
With a 40-year heritage in the natural health industry, Country Life has long been an advocate of transparency and third-party verifications, and boasts more than 500 products bearing certifications. This includes approximately 400 certified vegetarian, more than 240 certified vegan, 10+ certified USDA organic and more than 150 certified kosher products.
Nearly all of Country Life's products are manufactured at its wholly owned NSF-GMP compliant manufacturing facility in Hauppauge, N.Y. The facility is also the first by a supplement brand to be certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification organization (GFCO), meaning all Country Life- manufactured products are certified gluten-free.
The process of reviewing and verifying these Biotin products with the Non-GMO Project was about 18 months, and Country Life has a plethora of other supplements in the pipeline, awaiting verification.
Exhibiting at Expo East booth #5826, Country Life will also showcase its wide offering of gluten-free and non-GMO supplements such as BioChem® 100% Whey Sugar-Free Protein Coconut, Organic Folate and Papaya Digestive Support.
