At Indigo Herbs we take quality seriously. We have been producing premium quality herbs & superfoods products since 2005. Many of our trade customers return to us time & time again as they have come to trust the excellent high quality products that we source & sell.
The Indigo Herbs team really appreciate the benefits of pure, premium quality pharmacopial grade herbs & superfoods. It is our personal passion that has lead us on to develop a comprehensive range of over 450 natural health product lines.
So we spend time researching & resourcing the best products. Being aware of the methods of manufacture that the herbs or foods have gone through is central to this.
The Indigo Herbs Quality Assurance scheme has been designed to ensure that our consumable products are of highest quality.
We are interested in

What Certification the product has
Where the product is from
How it is produced
How it is stored to optimise freshness
How the nutritional content is maintained and preserved
