Quality Control
All of our anti aging raw materials must pass stringent
quality controls before they are utilized. In addition, we use only
those precursor anti wrinkle materials that are of the highest quality
and that pass our in house quality inspection.
All raw anti aging materials are tested for purity
prior to production. Quality control engineers have the authority
during any stage of production to reject any product that does not
adhere to our strict quality standards. All personnel follow explicit
written protocols that are strictly enforced during the manufacturing
process. All steps during the manufacturing process are documented
and reviewed by quality control specialists. Manufacturing equipment
is properly maintained and cleaned on a predetermined schedule that
is documented in company logs for review by the Department of Agriculture.
This helps to ensure the absence of any contamination during the
manufacturing process. Production records associated with each unit
of a product, including all raw materials used, are filed for two
years past the expiration date.
Further quality control is demonstrated by:
Raw materials - These are purchased
only from reputable wholesalers. Each raw material in our products
must come with a Certificate of Analysis obtained from the supplier.
Our in house Quality Assurance team also analyzes the raw materials
for authenticity.
Product analysis - This is recorded
for each product that is manufactured. The analysis contains the
specific components of the anti wrinkle product, including a lot
number for each of the ingredients, as well as the production methods
used.
Packaging material - All packaging
materials are purchased only from reputable wholesalers. Specific
Quality Assurance personal ensure that all labels are assigned to
the proper products to avoid any confusion. All new labels are cross
checked with the original master label to make certain that there
have been no mistakes during the printing process.
Lot Numbers - Once an order request
has been received, the herbal supplement to be manufactured is entered
in the production records and a lot number is assigned. The raw
materials are released to the pharmacy after all products have been
checked for authenticity.
Ultra Herbal Manufacturing Guidelines
In addition to the protocols described above, Ultra Herbal
Anti Aging Products adhere to the following manufacturing guidelines
to ensure the utmost quality control:
Blending and Granulation - All
equipment used in the process of mixing and granulation is inspected
by the Director of Operations prior to use. Raw materials are then
inspected for the final time. The lots are then processed using
strict written guidelines for each herbal product. Following granulation
and blending, the powder blends are stored in specially designed
containers to ensure freshness and to avoid any contamination. Once
again the Director of Operations ensures that all new blends are
labeled appropriately.
Encapsulation and Compression
- Once a test unit has been processed, a sample is unit is issued
to Quality Assurance to be compared to retained samples in order
to ensure product integrity. Once the new unit has been approved
by Quality Assurance, full line production may begin. Quality Assurance
inspections are conducted using set protocols for the capsules.
As with the blending and granulation process, the capsules are stored
in specifically designed containers to ensure freshness and to avoid
any contamination. The Director of Operations makes certain that
all new capsules are labeled appropriately.
Liquids - Liquid products are
prepared following the same stringent protocols described above
for blending, granulation, encapsulation and compression.
Packaging and Inspection - Upon completion of processing,
the final product is inspected again by the Quality Assurance staff.
Broken tablets, over filled capsules and any other defective products
are removed from the lot. Products released by the Quality Assurance
staff are subsequently either packaged for bulk storage or bottled
and labeled for consumer use (labels contain the appropriate information
required by the Federal Drug Administration; batch numbers are logged).
All finished products are properly labeled and closed with a tamper
proof seal. The Quality Assurance unit also retains samples of raw
materials for one year past the expiration date of the last product
they are used in. The unit also retains samples of finished products
for one year past the product expiration date. These samples are
maintained under controlled conditions.
Final Products - All final products
are stored in quarantine in a climate controlled environment until
final delivery to the customer.
All Ultra Herbal Revitol products are manufactured
using Good Manufacturing Practices set forth by the US Federal Drug
Administration. In addition, both scheduled and surprise inspections
by the Quality Assurance staff during different aspects of the manufacturing
process help to ensure specific quality, strength and purity for
both the raw materials and the finished supplements.
