Once the purchasing agent has secured the raw materials, these materials are delivered to our manufacturing facilities, where a Receiving department takes over.

Before allowing the materials to enter the manufacturing facility, receiving needs to match the records from the purchasing agent to the delivery manifest which will include certificates of analysis (CoA) documentation to ensure that we’re receiving the correct raw materials ordered which is then quarantined and stored in allergen specific, non-cross contamination warehousing.

A Quality Assurance technician will be called in to sample the incoming raw materials for the purpose of performing specific scientific analyses to confirm attributes such as identity, strength and purity to match the CoA documentation provided which are done inside state-of-the-art, in-house laboratories. Very few dietary supplement companies have the necessary facilities, instrumentation, and qualified staff to test their ingredients and finished products in-house, as most would have to contract third party testing at other laboratories, if any testing is done at all.

The purity of our raw materials needs to be at least 99% pure as we don’t accept any lower grade materials in our manufacturing process of our products.

Improving Quality Control in Supplement Production through FTIR Analysis.

In the competitive realm of supplement manufacturing, maintaining the quality and consistency of products is crucial. To meet these requirements, companies are turning to advanced analytical methods like Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Analysis. This technique plays a critical role in confirming the identity, purity, and quality of raw materials and finished products, ultimately improving overall quality assurance protocols.

FTIR Analysis stands out as a powerful analytical tool that enables manufacturers to promptly and precisely analyze the chemical composition of samples. Through the assessment of molecular interaction with infrared light, FTIR can detect specific functional groups within a compound. This functionality is especially valuable in the supplement industry, where accurate formulation and ingredient authenticity are critical.

1. Confirms raw material identity, preventing mislabeling and ensuring consumer safety.
2. Detects impurities, enhancing product purity and customer trust.
3. Guarantees formulation consistency, building consumer trust and brand loyalty.
4. Optimizes manufacturing processes, identifying issues and improving efficiency.

After all the tests, screening and analyses are complete, ingredients are ready for the manufacturing process to start. Ingredients are verified by the Production Pharmacist with the Quality Assurance technician for the production ticket.

Once everything is double-checked, the Production Pharmacist will initiate the production run, monitored from start to finish.

With so many different ingredients and variables involved in the production of our products, establishing and maintaining consistent manufacturing processes is a necessity. This is where Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is a critical component in entire manufacturing process.

Once the finished products are moved out of manufacturing, production staff thoroughly cleans the room and equipment to prevent any cross-contamination with the next production run even if it’s the same product or just a different flavour variant.

The production rooms (Clean rooms) are individually contained environments, which enables the entire room, including ceiling, walls, and floors, can be thoroughly cleansed and sanitized.

Everything is carefully logged and documented, in order to go back and review processes and procedures, if any issue might arise, which can be traced back to the exact time and date of the product production.
