Manufacturing
Quality control for Nutura products comes into play even before the manufacturing
process has begun. Every single raw material received at the lab undergoes
a rigorous inspection before it can be approved for use. Once the materials
for a product have been gathered, strict written Standard Operating Procedures
(SOP's) must be followed to assure the highest standards of quality control.
Testing
These steps include stringent testing and sampling at every stage of production;
a cycle cannot continue until each test is passed. To ensure absolute
accuracy, records are kept of each component and the quantity used in
every batch of product. All tests are conducted under the supervision
of an in-house Ph.D.
Among the many characteristics measured in the Chemical Analysis Lab are
bioavailability (using USP dissolution tests), potency (using high-pressure
liquid chromatography [HPLC]) and pH levels. These tests ensure that Nutura
supplements will never contain less than 100% of the label claim.
Meanwhile, the weight, hardness and thickness of all tablets is checked
by The Physical Analysis Lab, thereby guaranteeing the constant integrity
of each formulation. Finally, the Microbiology Lab conducts microbial
testing on all products to ensure they meet the USP microbiological limit
requirements for nutritional supplements in the USP XXIII.
The highest standards of quality
Nutura supplements meet all USP standards and frequently exceed them.
The Nutura manufacturing facility is routinely inspected by the FDA as
well as representative companies from Canada and Europe. The Nutura facility
is also approved as a nutritional supplement manufacturer by the Canadian
Health Organization and the Commission of the European Communities.
Nutura supplements
are manufactured under the following standards:
- ISO 9001 Certification
- ISO 17025 Accreditation
for in-house laboratories, chemical and physical analysis and microbiology
- cGMP's (current
Good Manufacturing Practices) for nutritional supplements in accordance
with USP26
- Compliance with
Bio-Terrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002
- Vendor Certification
