6S Quality Process Pharmanex® uses proprietary technology in its manufacturing processes to maintain tight quality controls through all stages of product development. The key to consistent quality is the Pharmanex® 6S Quality Process, the basis of the company's approach to product development.
1. Selection of Botanicals
Selection
To locate the botanicals with the most effective health-promoting properties, Pharmanex employs teams of experts from the United States and Asia. These teams conduct exhaustive research? compiling, reviewing, and summarizing historical use and current intelligence about a botanical's properties and health benefits. Pharmanex also conducts original research to identify new botanicals, coordinating with noted professionals from around the world. Only botanicals that pass extensive Pharmanex tests for authenticity, usefulness, and safety are considered
2. Potential sources of the botanical
Sourcing
Once Pharmanex® decides to proceed with a particular botanical, a team investigates potential sources of the botanical and conducts exhaustive analyses on samples from each source. Sources may be domestic or international and may include Pharmanex® cultivation areas in Mainland China and Chile. Pharmanex® chooses a supplier based on the quality and concentration level of the active ingredient(s) present in samples from that source.
3. Chemical structures in standardised extracts
Structure
Using state-of-the-art analytical techniques and working in collaboration with respected universities and laboratories in both Mainland China and the United States, Pharmanex® conducts structural analyses of the natural compounds present in the selected botanical. These analyses isolate and purify specific chemical structures in standardised extracts, a critical step in ensuring a safe and effective botanical.
4. Proprietary standardisation processes
Standardisation
Wide variations in active ingredients are characteristic of any botanical. Pharmanex® optimises the active ingredients of a product through strict, proprietary standardisation processes (to at least one relevant marker molecule). Each capsule of a product contains the same amount of each active ingredient.
5. We ensure the safety of our products
Safety
Pharmanex® is leading the way in establishing strict standards to ensure the safety of its products. Scientists research and document the history of a product's use and safety. The active ingredient amount used is based on dosages found effective through clinical trials and is backed by published data on file at Pharmanex®. Each product label contains directions for use and the appropriate warning information.
6. Adherence to scientific standards for substantiation
Substantiation
Pharmanex® only makes product claims that have been substantiated through documented preclinical and clinical studies. Existing clinical data are reviewed, and when necessary, Pharmanex® sponsors studies of its products. Data from some of these studies are subsequently submitted to major international journals for review. This adherence to scientific standards for substantiation helps make Pharmanex® a leader in the natural healthcare product industry. The attention to detail, strict scientific testing, and commitment to quality ensures that every Pharmanex® product is absolutely safe and effective. The 6S Quality Process has enabled Pharmanex® to become an industry leader in quality and efficacy.
