Manufacturing quality, excellence and reliability into every NSI® product
At Nutraceutical Life Sciences (NLS), superior formulations, world-class manufacturing and exceptional quality go into every NSI product we make.
We take great pride in every step of our manufacturing process. Our products meet or exceed the high standards set forth in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia and the Good Manufacturing Processes (GMPs).
These exceptional health products are produced in our own 40,000 ft. state-of-the-art FDA inspected cGMP facility located in Lexington, North Carolina.
As a result, you can be assured that each and every one of our products is:
- Made only with the highest quality ingredients
- Subject to strict in-house laboratory practices and testing protocols
- Formulated according to the most current medical and scientific research available
- Manufactured and packaged using state-of-the-art machinery from equipment manufacturers specifically chosen for their demonstrated leadership in quality
All raw materials are tested for compliance, ensuring product quality and integrity. Finished products are then quarantined for final analysis, evaluating weight, purity and effectiveness. This commitment to quality ensures you will receive a superior NSI product, each and every time.
NLS – Highest quality, guaranteed.
Our commitment to quality is present in every aspect of our manufacturing process:
- In-house manufacturing of NSI branded products began in May 2008.
- Our facility provides greater manufacturing efficiencies and cost savings, as well as greater control over the entire manufacturing process, from raw material procurement through finished goods production.
- Our in-house laboratory includes the latest state-of-the-art equipment for testing and analysis with dedicated Perkin-Elmer Elan 9000 ICP-MS, HPLC, Near-IR, and all instrumentation necessary to fully control the manufacturing process, potency and quality.
- Additionally, we run a complete in-house microbiology lab and analyze all incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products to absolutely ensure no microbial contamination is present or introduced within the manufacturing process.
- Our manufacturing facility has the capacity to produce up to one billion tablets and capsules as well as package over 6 million bottles per year.
- In addition to providing us with greater volume and flexibility, in-house manufacturing provides us with exceptionally quick launch of product concept to the marketplace, prioritized production, reduced the risk of out-of-stock situations, limited finished goods obsolescence and improved overall operating margins and product cycle times.
- Our in-house manufacturing exceeds FDA standards for current Good Manufacturing Practice and is on schedule to be NSF certified by March of 2009.
- We maintain high standards of quality control consistent with Federal regulatory guidelines as required by CFR 21 part 110 and 111 and cGMP.
- We manufacture our products according to strict specifications including comprehensive microbiology testing, heavy metals specifications to California proposition 65 requirements, and complete assay for product purity and potency.
- NLS reviews and performs internal testing on all contract manufactured materials to ensure conformance.
- The same testing required of contract manufacturers is also performed internally on all NLS manufactured products. We periodically inspect the facilities of our contract manufacturers to monitor their quality control and quality assurance procedures to assure compliance with current FDA good manufacturing practices.
