Thus the five natural supplements that are mentioned below are tested for the various parameters that include the basic Quality Control Parameters, the phyto chemical analysis, Microbial Analysis that includes the testing for the presence of pathogens along with the total bacterial and fungal count. It is also tested for the presence of heavy metals in them, followed by Aflatoxin and Pesticide analysis. The Nutritional Value for each of them were determined and reported in the form of mg/capsule.
