SABPA is comprised of 17 members of Africa’s botanical products industry. The goal of the organization is to create a more connected, compliant and rich supplement industry for a region that has been held back by regulatory challenges that have hindered market access during the past two decades. While there are many ethical and high quality offerings on the market, there are also some that lack the appropriate regulatory expertise regarding Sceletium. This particular situation was the impetus for creating a code of conduct for SABPA members to ensure quality products, along with a quality seal to increase consumer confidence (expected end of 2024). SABPA plans to work with local growers, traders and brand owners to standardize analytical testing in order to provide them with assurance that they are working with good quality raw material and processed products.
