    The plant named on your batch record and lab report is ours.

  • We release it

    Our own QA team signs off every lot before it ships.

How does a lot move through the plant?

  1. Incoming ingredient drums and bags with yellow status tags on pallets, checked against a clipboard

    Step 1: Receive and check

    Ingredients arrive, are labelled and held until they are checked against their spec.

  2. Powder scooped into a steel container on a scale in a weighing booth, beside a batch record on a clipboard

    Step 2: Dispense

    Each ingredient is weighed against your batch record, and the weights are signed off.

  3. Step 3: Blend

    Ingredients are blended and blend uniformity is checked before filling.

  4. Step 4: Fill, press or seal

    Capsules filled, tablets pressed, sticks sealed or bottles filled, with weights checked through the run.

  5. Step 5: Pack and label

    Every unit carries its lot number and expiry date, then goes into your printed carton.

  6. Step 6: Test and release

    An independent lab tests the lot, our QA team reviews the report, and only lots that pass are released to ship.

How is quality controlled in the plant?

  • Written procedures

    Every step, from weighing to packing, follows a written procedure.

  • A batch record per lot

    What went into each lot, when and on which line, recorded as it happens.

  • Line clearance

    Lines are cleared and checked between products, before the next lot starts.

  • Controlled rooms

    Moisture-sensitive products such as effervescent tablets are made in low-humidity rooms.

  • Independent testing

    Every finished lot goes to an independent ISO 17025 lab.

  • Retained samples

    A sample of every lot is kept for 1 year past the expiry date.

Why make supplements in India?

  • India is where many supplement ingredients come from: botanicals, minerals, amino acids and vitamins
  • It is one of the world's largest bases for pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Your landed price already includes freight and US duty, so the number you compare is the real cost
