The listed benefits are Eye Health and Nervous System Support. Certifications listed include Dairy Free, Egg Free, Kosher, Made without Gluten, Non-GMO, Nut Free, Soy Free, and Vegan/Vegetarian. The page notes NPA A-rated GMP certification, which it says covers the manufacturing process, laboratory and testing methods for stability, potency, and product formulation. It describes the company as family owned and operated since 1968, with packaging in the USA. A product note warns that exposure to heat or sunlight may lead to melting or damage, so customers are expected to be available during delivery.
