Is a dietary supplement just a dietary supplement? It can easily appear that way, especially with thousands of different brands of dietary supplements on the market today. Pharmacies, supermarkets and other retail outlets are setting up in-house "supplement stores" and virtually every highly circulated print publication and news program is touting the benefits of nutritional supplementation. Propelling the explosion of health awareness and the ongoing quest for "anti-aging", hundreds of studies are emerging about the benefits of nutrient supplementation. Some of these tell us what we have known for years (it is believed that the ancient Egyptians recognized a nutrient, vitamin A, that can prevent night blindness).

Today, taking nutritional supplements has become so commonly accepted as a way of improving health and preventing the effects of aging that it is not surprising that the vitamin business has become a $40 billion dollar a year global industry.

So the question is no longer Do nutritional supplements work?,
but rather How can I tell one product from the next?

The answer is one simple word that may be difficult to define--QUALITY.


Great lengths are taken to ensure that every supplement leaving the laboratory is the highest quality available. The quality starts with a team of PhDs that specialize in Pharmaceutics and Nutrition. Rigorous quality control standards have been set and are adhered to throughout every step of the manufacturing process. Our manufacturing and packaging facilities occupy more than 150,000 square feet of ISO 9001 certified world-class manufacturing, there are three in-house ISO 17025 accredited laboratories – Chemical Analysis Laboratory, Physical Analysis Laboratory, and Microbiology Laboratory.

The facility is regularly inspected by state, FDA and international regulatory agencies.


State of the art equipment and technology
yielding high volumes of product 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

This includes high speed tablet presses that can produce more than 10 million tablets daily, encapsulating machines that output more than 600,000 capsules every hour and complete turnkey packaging that includes bottling with tamper proof induction sealing and daily convenience packs. In house testing laboratories include Microbiology, Physical Properties Testing and Analytical Analysis, including HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography), UV/VIS (ultraviolet/visible), spectrophotometry and ICP (inducted coupled plasma testing).

The Raw Materials
Raw materials come from all over the world. The vendors used are the most reputable in the industry. When possible, USP, FCC (Food Chemical Codex), NF (National Formulary) and pharmaceutical grade are used. Once sourced, only the best available materials that are accompanied by certificates of analysis (COA) are received into the facility. The "vendor-supplied COA", however, does not suffice for passing the material through to formulation and manufacturing. Each and every raw material is quarantined until it passes a battery of tests including in-house microbial testing, which conforms to USP XXVIII specifications. This includes a series of microbial testing procedures which make certain that the material is within USP specifications for yeast, mold, and free of E.coli, salmonella, and other contaminants that may be present in raw materials. It is also important in selected materials to test for heavy metals (such as lead and aresenic) contamination. In addition to these rigorous test conducted on-site, often raw material is sent for independent testing and verification to an outside laboratory.

The Manufacturing Process
We use a cold process manufacturing technique. This method promotes content uniformity and potency within each batch of product. It is the preferred technique of manufacture over wet granulation, which exposes the material to heat and moisture. Cold process assures and protects the physio-chemical integrity of the nutrients. In addition to written SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) that comply with nGMPs (nutritional Good Manufacturing Practices) in all steps of manufacturing, there is a quality control cross-checking procedure that is implemented throughout the entire process. This way, more than one person checks the accuracy of each phase throughout the course of production. For every product lot number, retained samples are taken from each batch. Frequently the product is tested for active constituents, and analysis is conducted to make sure that it meets label claim throughout the product's shelf life. In-process quality control teams constantly monitor quality and provide on-site training around the clock. There are no preservatives, corn, wheat, starch, yeast or artificial additives added to the product. Also, tablets are coated without using artificial waxes, colors, or sugar coatings.
