What Certifications Matter Most in Health eCommerce?

GMP? FDA Registered Facility? CE Mark? Too many acronyms—what actually makes a difference to buyers?
What certifications do you highlight? Any customer ever ask about them?

In health eCommerce, key certifications include FDA approval, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), NSF certification for supplements, and Organic certification for food or beauty products. Halal/Kosher certifications ensure compliance with religious standards. Third-party lab testing ensures ingredient accuracy. These certifications enhance credibility, build consumer trust, and reduce legal risks.

Definitely those that have FDA and GMP approval are the most important, so these types of certifications are the ones you should aim to have.

It depends on where you are selling. Your country laws determines what certifications do you need for your health ecommerce. If you sell prescription drugs, you are required to have pharmacy license in our country. Your products also need approval from Drug Department as well as Health Ministry

The laws of countries may differ a lot. FDA is an American organisation. It has banned many products in America. However, the fact remains that many products banned by FDA are being sold in many different parts of the world.

It's true, depending on each country, the laws can vary not only a little but quite a lot, it's something that has to be considered, I didn't know that last piece of information.

Well, in certain cases, medicines might be banned at an international level when a specific medicine or a certain ingredient in a medicine is found to be hazardous to human health. We have many examples of quacks who sold counterfeit or ineffective medicines and made tons of money. Many real, genuine doctors are also involved in the business of selling medicines to general people. I am taking about doctors selling medicines that may not be even related to the actual disease!

That's very true! Although it's never happened to me, and I don't know of any cases where it has happened. Has it happened to you, or do you remember one? If so, I'd love for you to tell me.
