Gaia Herbs® Partners with SuppCo for Third-Party Quality Verification

At Gaia Herbs, we’ve always been sticklers for quality, going above and beyond industry standards in ingredient sourcing, manufacturing, lab testing, innovative formulations, and even growing herbs on our regenerative-organic certified herb farm.

We know our commitment to quality is strong, and we have gone to great lengths to communicate this promise through our educational platforms, certifications, and marketing outreach, including yearly farm and facility tours.

But all this doesn’t necessarily mean much if it’s not verified by a third party.

This is why we’re so excited to announce our partnership with SuppCo. This independent platform evaluates supplement brands and assigns a TrustScore™ based on over two dozen attributes, from ingredient sourcing to manufacturing transparency.

So, how did we rank? Keep reading to learn more about this exciting new partnership and what it means for you.

What is SuppCo & How Does it Work?

Many online shoppers are familiar with TrustScore™ ratings, third-party ratings that help ensure a product’s quality and integrity.

SuppCo provides TrustScore™ ratings specific to supplements based on an evaluation of 29 quality attributes, such as:

Ingredient sourcing
Manufacturing transparency
Testing benchmarks (e.g., raw ingredient testing, third-party lab testing, heavy metals, ISO-lab testing)
Brand Certifications
Technical innovation
Product quality

To date, SuppCo has rated over 30,000 supplement products from over 800 brands.

How Does SuppCo’s Rating System Work?

SuppCo uses a 10-point rating scale, with any TrustScore™ above 8 considered excellent.

This rating provides consumers with unbiased, data-driven information on supplement quality, making it easier to see which brands live up to their reputations and deliver the best, safest products.

You’ll now find SuppCo TrustScore™ ratings on all Gaia Herbs product pages, rated by our testing protocols, certifications, sourcing integrity, and overall business practices, proving the quality we put into every bottle.

So, How Did Gaia Herbs Rank?!

Alright already (we had to build some suspense), we're thrilled to announce Gaia Herbs achieved top-tier recognition, ranking among the top 5 brands on SuppCo with an average brand TrustScore™ of 9.83!¹

This places us in the top 10% of all rated supplement brands (800 at this writing).

Yep, we were pretty over-the-moon, and hope you are too.

You’ll now start seeing SuppCo’s TrustScores™ on all our product pages, including detailed information on:

Ingredients (active and inactive)
Manufacturing standard
Testing benchmarks
Product quality
Product certifications
Technical innovation

Why did Gaia Herbs Partner with SuppCo?

A lot has changed in the supplement industry since Gaia Herbs' inception forty years ago.

Much of it is positive, such as enhanced consumer awareness of herbs and overall health, while some is not, such as counterfeit products, adulterated herbs, and false marketing hype.

Independent verification platforms, like SuppCo, help consumers cut through the noise and choose authentic, safe, and high-quality supplements with confidence.

It also gives customers third-party proof that we’re actually doing what we say we’re doing regarding certifications, sustainability, purity testing, and more.

Even though we hold various third-party certifications for our lab (ISO-certified), farm (regenerative-organic certified), and manufacturing (NSF-certified), we felt we needed a comprehensive third-party certification to verify and showcase all these efforts more transparently.

SuppCo provided the perfect platform for this, and we’re thrilled to be one of the industry’s early adopters.

Together with SuppCo, we’re showing the world that quality at Gaia Herbs isn’t just promised—it’s proven.

What about Gaia Herbs PRO?

SuppCo audits are currently underway for Gaia Herbs PRO (our professional line for doctors and healthcare practitioners).

We expect to have TrustScores™ available soon and will update our PRO customers promptly.
