Achieving true
quality in botanical extracts is not easy. A single plant is a complex
mixture. Its components depend on a number of variables, including
where it was grown, when it was harvested, and how it is processed into a
standardized extract. Ensuring quality and consistency for each and
every batch of a botanical extract is a painstaking process that
requires attention to control and traceability at each step, from the
seed to the drum.
We call the result of this process 360º Quality.
|
One of the ways in
which we ensure 360° Quality is through vertical integration. Unlike many sellers of ingredients, Verdure Sciences
exercises a high level of manufacturing and agricultural control. We
enter into long-term contracts with farmers
and harvesters to guarantee
botanical raw material supply and source, and we use USDA Organic
Certified material whenever possible.
Starting with the raw
material, all processes adhere to Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP). For example, incoming lots of botanical raw material
are verified using HPTLC (fig.1) and identification by
trained botanists (fig.2). Each step of the way, including the high
grade of
stainless steel (SS316) our extraction vessels are made of, and the
purity of the water used for extraction, has a singular purpose: Control and Traceability
with the objective of 360° Quality. |
