OUR QUALITY SYSTEM

Six checkpoints on every order

Quality is built into each stage rather than inspected at the end. Every order passes through the same six checkpoints, each carried out under our SOPs and documented in its batch record.

1

Supplier qualification

Before production

Ingredients and packaging components are purchased only from qualified vendors. Each material's chain of custody is reviewed and documented, and vendor COAs are verified against specification.

2

Initial label review

Before productionLABEL CHECKPOINT

Our compliance team reviews claims, the Supplement Facts panel, required statements and the disclaimer, and recommends any corrections before artwork is finalized.

3

Raw material testing

On receipt

Incoming raw materials are sampled and tested by a laboratory, and released to production only when results meet specification.

4

In-process checks

During manufacturing

Blending, encapsulation and filling are monitored under cGMP, with checks at each stage before the batch moves forward.

5

Finished product testing

Before release

Every finished product is tested by an independent third-party laboratory. Only lots that meet specification receive QC release.

6

Label verification

Before shipmentLABEL CHECKPOINT

We confirm that the printed label accurately reflects the finished product, using production records and test results.

THIRD-PARTY TESTING

Verified by independent laboratories

Every product we manufacture is tested by a third-party laboratory, and every released lot ships with its Certificate of Analysis. Independent verification gives you, your retailers and your customers results that stand on their own.
