Herbs
KPC Herbs are among the highest quality available today. Their herbal products have gone through the world's most rigorous testing standards and inspection processes. Tests include analysis for heavy metals, dangerous pesticides, sulfur dioxide, aflatoxins, and aristolochic acid. Quality control systems are strictly enforced from starting ingredients to finished products. Authentication of correct species, origin, and quality of herbs is determined through appearance, microscopic analysis, chemical identification, and chemical fingerprinting to ensure purity. Each batch has a Certificate of Analysis proving safety by the strictest criteria.
Evergreen Herbs follows the "Seed to Shelf" approach promoted by Dr. David Eisenberg of Harvard University. This process includes tracking herbs and maintaining accountability from the origin as seeds, through planting, maturation, harvesting, processing, and testing. They support farmers that follow Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and obtain herbs that are indigenous to a specific region that when grown there will yield the best medicinal results. Authenticity of each herb is verified not only by a senior herbalist but additionally by laboratory chromatography which also guarantees maximum levels of active ingredients. Evergreen Herbs are tested safe from heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria.
Kamwo Herbs are carefully selected and verified for correct species and geo-authenticity. All materials are laboratory tested using Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to meet international safety guidelines. Kamwo is dedicated to providing only the finest quality premium herbs.
