Frequently Asked Questions
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. Our research did not find independently verified third-party certifications for this brand. While this doesn't mean their products are low quality, third-party testing is considered a strong indicator of commitment to quality assurance. 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?

GoodSupp's research did not find verified third-party testing certifications for NOW. Third-party testing by organizations like NSF International, USP, or Informed Sport is considered one of the strongest indicators of supplement quality. Without it, consumers must rely more heavily on the brand's own quality claims. This doesn't necessarily mean NOW's products are low quality, but it does mean there's less independent verification of their claims.

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.
