Is NOW a trustworthy supplement brand?
NOW receives a brand trust score of 100/100 in GoodSupp's independent analysis. The company was founded in 1968 and is headquartered in Bloomingdale, Illinois, USA. They hold 9 verified certifications including Informed Sport, Npa Gmp, Consumerlab, Labdoor, Fda Gmp Inspections. These certifications are independently verified by GoodSupp and indicate the brand meets recognized quality, purity, and manufacturing standards. Note: NOW has 8 historical regulatory incidents on record. These are factored into the overall trust score and are detailed in the violation history section above.
Is NOW third-party tested?
Yes. NOW holds 9 verified third-party certifications: Informed Sport, Npa Gmp, Consumerlab, Labdoor, Fda Gmp Inspections. Third-party testing means an independent laboratory — not the supplement company itself — has verified the product's contents, purity, and/or manufacturing practices. This is one of the strongest indicators of supplement quality because it removes the conflict of interest inherent in self-testing. Not all certifications are equal: NSF International and USP are considered the gold standard, while GMP certification indicates proper manufacturing practices.
What are the best NOW supplements?
Based on GoodSupp's quality analysis, the highest-rated NOW supplements are: Boswellia Extract 500 mg (score: 100/100); Standardized Extract Ashwagandha 450 mg (score: 100/100); Selenium 200 mcg (score: 100/100). These scores are calculated from ingredient quality, dosage adequacy, bioavailability, label transparency, and inactive ingredient safety. Scores can vary significantly across a brand's product line — a high brand trust score doesn't guarantee every individual product is top-quality.
Where is NOW located?
NOW is headquartered in Bloomingdale, Illinois, USA. The company was founded in 1968. They currently offer 1759 products in their supplement lineup. Their official website is nowfoods.com. Manufacturing location may differ from corporate headquarters — look for GMP certification to verify manufacturing quality standards.
