Quality, Testing & Certification
Supplement marketing is full of vague reassurance. This page sets out what APLGO products are actually certified for, and — just as importantly — what those certifications do not mean.
Where the products are made
APLGO products are manufactured in Europe. The company holds certificates and declarations of conformity covering both the manufacturing process and the finished products.
Certifications APLGO holds
- ISO 22000:2018 — food safety management across the production chain.
- ISO 9001:2015 — quality management systems.
- Halal certification for the Acumullit SA range.
- Kosher certification.
- FDA certificate of registration — see the note below.
- Certificates of conformity for Acumullit SA, Acumullit SA Plus and food supplements.
- Israel certification and PFT certificate of registration.
These are issued to APLGO and held in the company’s official documentation library. If you want to see a specific certificate before ordering, ask us and we will point you to it.
What “FDA registered” means — and does not
This is the most misrepresented claim in the supplement industry, so we will be direct.
FDA registration is not FDA approval. Facilities making dietary supplements must register with the FDA. That confirms the facility is known to the regulator and can be inspected. It is not a review of the product, not an endorsement, and not a finding that anything works.
No dietary supplement is FDA approved, because the FDA does not approve supplements before sale. Anyone telling you a supplement is “FDA approved” is either confused or misleading you. We would rather lose a sale than blur that line.
What the certifications actually tell you
Together they tell you the products are made in a regulated facility under recognised food-safety and quality-management systems, using ingredients meeting the stated dietary standards. That is worth something — more than many supplement brands can show.
What they do not tell you is whether a formula will do anything for you personally. Certification covers manufacturing and composition, not efficacy. There are no published clinical trials on the finished APLGO lozenges, and we say so on our honest review page.
What is in the drops
- Plant-based botanical extracts made with APLGO’s Acumullit SA process.
- A caramel base of molasses and beet sugar — about 1g sugar and 6 calories per lozenge.
- Natural flavours, and in some formulas natural colouring such as grape skin extract, paprika extract or curcumin.
- Non-GMO ingredients.
Full ingredient lists are on each product page and on the pack. Formulations change, so the label on the pack you receive is always the authority — not this website.
Safety
These are concentrated botanicals, not sweets. Several ingredients across the range — licorice root and ginkgo among them — can interact with prescription medicines, particularly blood thinners, blood pressure medication and anything affecting blood glucose. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist first, and do not start any new botanical supplement while pregnant or breastfeeding without medical approval.
