| 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.
