The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP Convention)
The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is an organization that develops and sets quality standards for medicines, supplements, and healthcare products. These standards ensure that products are safe, effective, and of consistent quality across the industry. The USP creates detailed guidelines and tests that manufacturers follow to verify their products meet these criteria. Although based in the U.S., their standards are internationally recognized and help protect public health by ensuring reliable, high-quality healthcare products.
