Where are Merrikh Medical's supplements manufactured?
The manufacturing of our formulas are outsourced to a few select U.S. companies. Each of these companies is currently Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified by at least one of the following: Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the Natural Products Association (NPA), and The Public Health and Safety Company NSF International.
Where do you source your ingredients?
That is completely dependent on what supplier has the best material. It is one of our highest priorities to search out the best raw materials based on quality, purity, and research.
Your labels say 'pharmaceutical grade'. What does that mean?
Pharmaceutical grade means that the product has been manufactured under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) conditions and is safe, pure, and effective. Under GMP guidelines, every step of the process is documented by using established SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). These include training, equipment, raw materials, facilities, and final-release criteria. Every product’s development can be traced back to the date, time, person, lot number, and piece of equipment associated with it.
Is everything in the capsule listed on the label?
Yes. Everything listed on the label is present in the capsule, tablet, powder, or liquid. What you see is exactly what you get.
Allergens
Do your products contain common allergens?
With minor exceptions, our formulas do not contain wheat, gluten, corn protein, yeast, soy, animal, or dairy products. None of our formulas contain artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives.
Are your formulas kosher?
No, our products are not certified as kosher.
Do your formulas contain fillers?
There are a few instances in which fillers are used. When they are, we use vegetable-based cellulose to fill a capsule that may have a very small amount of active ingredients.
What are the binders used in your tableted formulas?
Dicalcium phosphate, methylcellulose, glycerin, and croscarmellose sodium comprise the majority of binders used in our tablets. All binders are hypoallergenic, non-animal derived compounds.
What is the source of your vegetable capsules?
We only use vegetable capsules. They are made from hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, a cellulose compound derived from wood pulp.
What are your capsules made of?

Do you use standardized herbal extracts?
We strive to provide the highest quality herbs and the best value. When they are available in the marketplace, and especially when they are deemed critical to the efficacy of a formula, we use standardized herbal extracts.
Have your bovine-sourced products been tested for mad cow disease?
Yes, we have been assured that our bovine-sourced formulas are very safe and do not pose any risk for mad cow disease.
Supplement Use
Should I take my supplements with meals?
If there is a clear, science-based reason to take your supplement away from a meal, this will be indicated on the formula label directions or in the formula Reference Sheet (PDF). If there is any remaining question, consult your healthcare practitioner.
Can I take your formulas if I am pregnant or lactating?
Many dietary ingredients have not been tested during pregnancy or lactation. It is always best to check the label cautions and consult your healthcare practitioner before using a dietary supplement of any kind while pregnant or lactating.
Are there any known drug-nutrient interactions with any of the products?
Indeed, there are known and possibly unknown interactions between some prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications and some dietary supplements. The combination may enhance the drug’s action and therefore increase risk of toxicity, or it can reduce the drug’s action and therefore decrease its benefit. A drug can also deplete certain nutrients, increasing the need for supplementation. The information supplied on our labels regarding specific interactions is limited. Our formulas are designed to be used only under medical supervision, so it is very important to consult with your healthcare practitioner or pharmacist before combining prescription or OTC medications with any of our formulas
