How does Nature's Answer verify the authenticity of the herbal ingredients used in their product?

Why does this extract look different from one I've previously purchased?
It is common for batches of a particular herb to differ slightly in appearance and uniformity of color due to the nature of the herb itself, as herbs are plants/plant parts. Depending on the geographic region and time of the season an herb is harvested, it is not unusual for different batches of the same herb to differ slightly in their physical appearance and characteristics including color, aroma, texture, etc. Herbs are natural. Just as color and physical characteristics may vary in nature, so does the appearance in the finished herbal/botanical supplement.
Can I take several Nature's Answer Extracts/Formulas at once?
In general, it is usually safe to take several herbs and herbal extracts together without negative interactions. However, we recommend you consult your healthcare practitioner before use, especially if you are taking other medications, pregnant, nursing, planning any medical procedure, or have a medical condition.
Can I give Nature's Answer Herb/Extract to my house pet?
Although the majority of Nature’s Answer® products may be safe for a pet, they are specifically formulated as a dietary supplements for human consumption based upon human’s dietary needs, not animals! We suggest you consult the veterinarian to determine if a specific product would be suitable for your pet and how much should be administered.
Are Alcohol-Free extracts less potent than alcohol extracts?
With Nature’s Answer® formulations, the potency of an herb is not compromised in an alcohol-free extract. Nature’s Answer’s Alcohol-Free Liquid Extracts are made in the same manner as our Low Alcohol Extracts by using the optimal ratio of alcohol for each plant to maximize its potency and value to the consumer. After this initial evaluation, we then use our Bio-Chelation® cold process to completely eliminate the alcohol from the finished product resulting in an equally-as-potent Alcohol-Free Extract.
