FAQ
Are Nature’s Way products made in Canada?

Multivitamin Gummies are made in Prince Edward Island and our Coconut and MCT Oils are manufactured in Saskatchewan.
How does Nature’s Way guarantee the quality and safety of their ingredients?
To assure quality and safety, all potential suppliers are subjected to an extensive sourcing program before a material is considered for use. This program is initiated with a formal vendor quality evaluation that provides critical regulatory, processing, and safety information. Some of the information required includes regulatory status, material source, processing steps, quality, purity, and stability. This information is reviewed by our Quality Assurance department. Any supplier who does not meet our quality standards is not accepted as a vendor. That is, we will not purchase material from them. Nature’s Way maintains stringent raw material quality specifications for potency, microbiological, and purity tests. Raw material is monitored by our dedicated quality team to ensure only the highest quality raw materials are used in our products. We monitor and test each lot purchased to ensure that quality is maintained.
What are the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA and where do they come from?
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that we must get from the diet for good health. The health benefits commonly associated with omega-3 are primarily attributed to the longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Dietary sources of these two fatty acids are seafood and marine fatty fish such as anchovies, sardines, mackerel or fish oil supplements and algal oil supplements. Algal oil can be a direct source of EPA and DHA, making it an ideal source for vegetarians or those who prefer a plant-based source.
Are NutraVege products vegetarian and Certified Vegan?
NutraVege products are plant-based omega-3 supplements from algae that are ideal for vegetarians or those who simply prefer a plant-based omega-3. While our NutraVege products are vegetarian and vegan friendly, these products are not currently certified vegan.
