We are constantly relying on qualified personnel and searching for new experts, all committed to studying and innovating, in collaboration with universities and research institutes
ESI has always offered innovative, high quality formulations. We use analytical methods recognized by the official pharmacopoeia, and we study the chemical and herbal properties of raw materials to optimize their efficacy. That is how ESI is able to create effective formulas that combine innovation and quality.
ESI cooperates with universities and research institutes both in Italy and abroad, that test the products with the same rigorous approach used in the pharmaceutical industry. When applied to herbal dietary supplements, this allows ESI to provide an even higher quality to their consumers.
CERTIFICATIONS
The growing competitiveness of the markets and the demands of consumers – who are increasingly well-informed and discerning – are driving manufacturing and trading companies to operate under conditions of “Quality Assurance”.
As a leader in our sector, we have pursued the certification process for our quality management system, placing ourselves in direct dialogue with consumers. With the aim of guaranteeing our consumers products of the highest standards of quality and reliability, over the years we have collaborated with universities, research centres and international organisations to create innovative products with a lower environmental impact; this commitment and focus have enabled us to obtain various certifications and awards. ESI quality is highly certified by independent certification bodies and the Ministry of Health.

The International Fish Oil Standards is the most important certification for Omega-3 products. Following a rigorous testing protocol, Omega-3 Extra Pure has been awarded 5 IFOS stars, guaranteeing consumers the quality, safety and purity of the product.
CERTIQUALITY is a non-profit organisation serving businesses, accredited to certify management systems for quality, the environment and safety, as well as product certification. Certiquality certifies and guarantees the ESI® Aloe Vera juice range:
– Product free from pesticide residues or chemical fertilisers
– Polysaccharide content of not less than 7,000 mg/litre
ESI® collaborates with universities, research institutes and hospitals, both in Italy and abroad, to test the efficacy and safety of its products. This rigorous approach, derived from the pharmaceutical industry, is applied to the natural products sector to provide consumers with an additional guarantee
A new capsule made from a plant fibre obtained through the fermentation of tapioca, making it completely natural and free from artificial colourings, easily digestible, and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
NATURCAPS® RETARD BIFASICA: a technology patented by ESI® that ensures the body can utilise the nutrients gradually and fully. The special capsule contains 4 microtablets which may also be enteric-coated; these disintegrate at different rates, allowing for a gradual and constant
release of the active ingredients they contain and ensuring the body has sufficient time to absorb and transport the active ingredients throughout the body, thus providing a prolonged effect (known as the RETARD effect).
In light of the increasing prevalence of coeliac disease and gluten intolerance, all ESI® products are labelled ‘gluten-free’; that is to say, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 and the subsequent Regulation (EU) No 828/2014, they contain less than 20 ppm (0.002%) of gluten and are therefore suitable for people with coeliac disease. The absence of gluten is therefore clearly indicated on ESI® product packaging by means of an easily recognisable symbol.
To complete the information regarding ESI® products, consumers will find a small symbol on the packaging indicating whether the product is suitable for vegetarians and/or vegans, based on the origin of the raw materials contained.

The electricity used to supply the production plant and all ESI® offices comes from renewable sources (solar, hydro and wind power). This environmental claim relates exclusively to the production processes carried out at our plants and not to the entire product life cycle.
Productquality and safety: a core value for our consumers
All products leaving the new production site in Albissola Marina undergo rigorous analytical testing to verify that their quality parameters comply with the standards set by various national and international directives.
We have significant responsibilities, and quality is one of them; a value that has always been at the heart of ESI, enabling us to forge a connection with our customers. We have fully complied with the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system standards, introducing a Company Self-Monitoring Plan that enables us to manage the production, storage and transport of products in full compliance with current regulations. In 1999, we developed a Quality Management System, now certified to the UNI ISO 9001:2015 standard, to guarantee the quality of our products and the supply chain, from formulation through production to marketing; this is a clear demonstration of our commitment to this process. Operating through a certified quality management
system means being able to offer products and services that comply with
legislation and specific regulations but, above all, responding precisely and
effectively to consumers’ expectations and needs
Our Quality Policy is based on specific guiding principles:
•to provide a product or service that meets the customer’s requirements and needs;
•to ensure that all staff operate in accordance with the procedures laid down by
the system;
•to pay the utmost attention to product hygiene and safety;

Product quality is the company’s top priority, which is achieved through:
•The selection and use of carefully chosen raw materials.
