UDO’s CHOICE 3.6.9 OIL BLEND

Flora Health has been manufacturing and supplying quality herbal remedies for distribution in Canada since 1965, but its roots stretch back to Germany in the early 1900's, where Dr. Otto Greither, grandfather of the current owner Thomas Greither, dedicated his life to the discovery, production and distribution of natural health care products.

Flora Health has preserved his original dedication to perfect European herbal remedies that ensure maximum purity, quality and potency with a holistic approach to health and to provide quality, pure, organic products wherever possible.

Flora Health has evolved into one of North America's premier natural health products companies. The Canadian head office and main manufacturing facility has expanded to over 40,000 square feet. Located alongside the picturesque banks of the Fraser River in Burnaby, British Columbia, it provides an ideal working environment for a growing number of dedicated employees. The current production plant includes sophisticated semi-automatic and fully automatic equipment for processing quality herbal teas and liquid tonics, encapsulating herbal extracts, and cold-pressing certified organic seeds into health benefiting oils. Flora Health’s on-going research and development has resulted in some production methods which are the finest in the world. Product excellence speaks for itself and consumer interests echoes from corners of the globe. A burgeoning export department has responded to requests from many international importers and Flora Health's top selling health care items have successfully reached over 35 foreign markets.

All of Flora Health’s products are manufactured in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards and the facilities and manufacturing procedures are in compliance with all regulatory agencies in Canada and the United States, including The Health Protection Branch (HPB) in Canada and The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. In addition, Flora Health is a Certified Organic Producer and Processor overseen by the third party certifying agency, Quality Assurance International (QAI). This means that the organic herbal remedies prepared and distributed by Flora Health are guaranteed top quality and chemical free, right from the seed that is planted to the harvest, and from the post-harvest facilities to the final production and packaging.

To ensure quality first-hand, Flora Health seeks out and purchases herbs in their most whole form possible, many herbs are available on the market in finely cut and ground forms so that it is very difficult to determine the purity, potency and freshness of the herbs. Powdered herbs are less expensive but that is not what Flora Health is interested in. The Quality Control Department inspects each shipment of herbs and tests are performed to assure all plant material and finished products meet their specifications for quality. Physical identification data, microbial, heavy metal and pesticide reside standards, as well as minimum active ingredient levels, must all be met using the most advanced computer equipment.

Flora Health has been honored with numerous awards for their products and is a registered member of the Tru-Label Program in the United States. The company continually strives to remain a leader in the field of natural health by remaining committed to its mandate of offering only supreme quality products

Flora Health is dedicated to preserving the environment and in utilizing production and packaging practices that are ecologically sound.

Flora Health has also purchased prime farmland for cultivating and testing a variety of certified organic herbs under the Washington State Department of Agriculture Organic Food Certification Program. This will guarantee an ever-available supply of raw plant material that meets the company's stringent standards of purity and optimal active ingredients. The company is also contracting and cooperating with local organic farmers to grow many herbs under strict guidelines. Qualified staff work closely with the farmers to ensure proper seed selection, cultivation and harvesting methods are utilized. Flora Health is proud to offer financial support to over 30 non-profit organizations to assist in the continued protection and preservation of our planet.
        
The best possible materials for product manufacturing and packaging are continuously sought after. Vegcaps which are vegetarian capsules are used in lieu of gelatin for all of our dry herbal extracts. Flora Health also selects recyclable amber glass bottles rather than plastic. To ensure consumer protection and safety, Flora Health will continue to use environmentally friendly glass bottles for packaging its herbal tonics, encapsulated herbs and organic oils. All production areas utilize filtered air and special quartz flooring material which are superior to tile or painted floor. For packing orders, Flora Health prefers an ecologically safe material naturally made from corn starch. This new and revolutionary loose fill packing material dissolves instantly in water leaving no toxic residues. It is 100 percent biodegradable and may be discarded, composted in the garden, or simply washed down the drain.
