| In addition to the above outlined protocols for the physical aspect of the manufacturing facility. Bowtrol Supplements also adheres to the following manufacturing guidelines to ensure the utmost quality control:
Blending and Granulation - all equipment used for in the process of mixing and granulation are inspected by the director of operations prior to use. Raw materials are then inspected for the final time and the lots are then processed using the strict written guidelines for each herbal product. Following granulation and blending the powder blends are stored in specifically 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 - all equipment used in the process of mixing and granulation are inspected by the director of operations prior to use. Raw materials are then inspected for the final time and the lots are then processed using the strict written guidelines for each herbal product. Once a test unit has been processed a sample unit is issued to quality assurance to be compared to retained samples to insure product integrity. Once the new unit has been approved by quality assurance the 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 ensures that all new capsules are labeled appropriately.
Liquids - follow the same stringent protocol as the the above mentioned blending, granulation, encapsulation and compression procedures.
Packaging and Inspection - upon completion of the processing, the final product is inspected again by the quality control staff, broken tablets, over filled capsules, and other defective finished products are removed from the lot. Products released by the quality control staff are subsequently either packaged for bulk storage or bottled and labeled for consumer use (labels contain the appropriate information as 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 control unit also retains samples of raw materials (for one year past the expiration date of the last product they are used in) and finished products (for one year past the product expiration date) are maintained under control conditions. All of our liquid products follow the same stringent control standards where applicable.
Final Products - all final products are stored in quarantine in a climate controlled environment until final delivery to the customer.
All of Bowtrol Supplements are manufactured using Good Manufacturing Practices set forth by the US Federal Drug Administration. In addition, both scheduled and surprise inspections by the quality control 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. |
