Nutritional Analysis vs Medicinal Ingredient Potency Testing

Nutritional Analysis

May measure components such as:

• protein;
• Carbohydrates.
• Fibre.
• Sugars.
• Total fat.
• Fatty acids.
• Selected minerals.
• Moisture.
• Ash.

PBR's documented capabilities also include vitamins A, C and D for applicable matrices.

Medicinal Ingredient Potency Testing

Potency testing may require:

• Analyte-specific methods.
• Reference standards.
• Matrix-specific extraction.
• Defined concentration ranges.
• Method suitability.

PBR's current verified service catalogue does not support a blanket claim that all medicinal ingredients or all vitamins can be tested for potency.

Which Do You Need?

Ask:

Are we trying to characterize the nutritional composition, or verify a specific medicinal ingredient against a defined specification?

That answer determines the analytical approach.
