Saffron Testing Results
At PrimoNourish, quality and authenticity are essential to our commitment to safety and transparency. Each batch of our saffron capsules is double tested to verify identity, purity, and safety using validated analytical methods and strict quality standards.
Advanced Identity Verification
Saffron is one of the most commonly adulterated botanicals worldwide. To ensure authenticity, botanical identity is confirmed using HPTLC fingerprinting, a validated analytical method used to verify genuine Crocus sativus L. and detect adulteration. (HPTLC fingerprinting compares the botanical profile to an authenticated reference standard to confirm genuine saffron and detect adulteration.)
