Vital Nutrients Your success and credibility as a healthcare practitioner depend on the clinical effectiveness of your treatment program. To the extent you use nutrients as part of your treatment, your clinical success with patients depends on the quality and efficacy of the products you prescribe." - Rick Liva, ND, RPh, President of Vital Nutrients.
Rick Liva. is a Registered Pharmacist, Licensed Naturopathic Physician and President of Vital Nutrients. As a 20 year practicing Naturopathic Physician, he has always had concerns about the quality and consistency of natural products that he prescribes to his patients.
Because of this concern, Dr. Liva started Vital Nutrients to guarantee proven quality and help raise the standards of the natural products manufacturing industry. As president, he has developed, instituted and overseen every facet of Vital Nutrients' operation. He is intimately involved in the day-to-day operations assuring that Vital Nutrients delivers quality products, excellent customer service and great prices that provide the best value in the industry. Vital Nutrients has assembled a team of highly experienced people to guarantee quality assurance and quality control. Lilith Hudson is the quality assurance/quality control manager. Lilith has a Master's Degree in Chemistry and is an ISO 9000:2000 certified quality assurance auditor. Lilith and Dr. Liva are dedicated to holding the entire operation accountable for following current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) guidelines. They work very closely together credentialing laboratories and suppliers, analyzing test methods and standards for validity, accepting or rejecting raw materials, developing procedures, educating the production staff, approving production, as well as many other responsibilities.
Most natural product suppliers assure you they are giving you the best quality in the marketplace. In Vital Nutrients experience they often don't deliver the quality that they claim. Many natural product testing laboratories use unethical practices and poor science to test the validity of raw materials and finished products. Vital Nutrients has seen this repeatedly, so they go the extra mile in their quality assurance research to make certain they use only ethical practices and good science in their testing. Dr. Liva and Lilith spend a great deal of time researching the validity of laboratory test methods and standards.
Testimonials I feel very secure in the purity and potency of Vital Nutrients products. The fact that they independently test all materials at delivery before they accept them is great assurance you are receiving the least possible contaminants in the final product. They test potency throughout the shelf life of the products and know that the potency holds up. When products are ordered the delivery is fast and accurate which we really appreciate. It is a great company to work with. - Dr. Conrad Maulfair
I love the quality of the products from Vital Nutrients. My patients are particularly happy that their supplements are totally free from contamination. I give them my highest recommendation. - Terry Chappell, MD
