Essential Nutrients Including Vitamins Testing – METS Laboratories
Ensure Nutritional Compliance. Safeguard Public Health.
At METS Laboratories, we provide comprehensive analytical testing for essential nutrients and vitamins in food, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and animal feed. Our testing services are aligned with global regulatory standards including FSSAI, CODEX, EU, and US FDA to help you meet nutritional labelling requirements, formulation validation, and safety assurance.
Why Essential Nutrients Including Vitamins Testing Is Important?
Nutrients are foundational to human and animal health. Proper quantification ensures:
• Accurate nutritional labelling
• Regulatory compliance
• Product efficacy and safety
• Prevention of nutrient deficiency or overdose
