Product & Manufacturing Profile
Core Products
Practitioner‑focused supplements across GI (e.g., Zinc‑Carnosine/PepZin GI®), sleep & stress (e.g., Pro‑Som®, Cortisol Manager®), cardiometabolic (e.g., Pure Omega Ultra HP), cellular energy (e.g., NAC), vitamins/minerals, botanicals, probiotics, and specialized medical‑nutrition (e.g., Physicians’ Elemental Diet™).
Manufacturing Model
US operations centered in Green Bay, Wisconsin (825 Challenger Drive). Products are manufactured under Schwabe North America’s quality system; production occurs in a drug‑GMP audited, third‑party GMP‑certified facility with internal chemistry and microbiological labs, and qualified external partners as needed.
Quality Certifications
Third‑party cGMP certification for dietary supplements (NSF/ANSI 455‑2 GMP listing for Integrative Therapeutics/Schwabe North America, Green Bay facility). Operations aligned to FDA 21 CFR Part 111; quality leadership with deep FDA/GMP expertise.
Third-Party Testing
Routine identity, potency, purity, and contaminant testing; in‑house labs plus external labs as required. Omega‑3 line provides lot‑specific test results via PureCheck (consumer‑accessible portal). Heavy metals, microbial, and other safety assays referenced in product/FAQ materials.
Transparency
Ingredient Sourcing
Utilizes branded/raw materials from named suppliers where relevant (e.g., PepZin GI® from Hamari; Theracurmin® technology; omega‑3s from anchovy). Omega‑3 sourcing notes sustainable fisheries and Chilean waters for certain SKUs. Country‑of‑origin details are not comprehensively published brand‑wide.
Published Testing
Public lot‑specific purity results available for Pure Omega SKUs via PureCheck; broader, routine batch COAs are not universally published on the retail site.
Sustainability
Select product‑level claims (e.g., Friends of the Sea certification cited for anchovy sourcing in Omega line). No standalone corporate sustainability report for the brand was identified on the site; parent Schwabe Group emphasizes herbal stewardship globally.
Trust Score
Trust Score: 4/5
Reasoning: Integrative Therapeutics is a long‑standing professional brand with roots in four respected practitioner lines and more than two decades under Schwabe North America. The Green Bay facility holds third‑party GMP certification (NSF 455‑2) and operates under rigorous quality systems with in‑house labs and experienced regulatory leadership. Product portfolio leverages branded, research‑supported ingredients, and certain categories (e.g., Pure Omega) provide lot‑level purity results accessible to practitioners and patients. Transparency is strong at the program level but not fully universal—batch COAs for all SKUs are not publicly posted—and detailed supply‑chain disclosures are selective. No recent major FDA warning letters tied directly to the brand were identified. Overall, manufacturing controls, longevity, and practitioner focus justify a high—but not perfect—score.
